Hi All,
Just been reading the guestbook, not something I often do. Anyway, there's an entry from a guy called Ed Newall, who claims to have a piece of MvR's fuselage, salvaged by his Grandfather, and he wishes to sell it.
He can be contacted at:
enewall@oregontrail.net
I've no idea as to it's authenticity or what proofs he may have. Perhaps we could convince him to tell the story here at the Forum.

Alternatively, perhaps we could ask Rittm to take a look at it and see if she recognises it..!!

Best Regards
Paul

Maybe E.N's grandfather is the the British Officer who, according to Rittm, scampered out of the bushes and fatally shot MvR in the back. Or maybe it was from the grassy knoll, I forget.

Gents,
Actually she was driving the white fiat that sideswiped Princess Di's car on it's way back in time to the day of April 21st. That way she could have those past life memories of some British Tommy stepping out from behind the bushes and shooting MvR in the back. But the grassy knoll theory for April 21st is stretching things a bit far don't you think? ; )
VBR,
Jim

Thanks, Paul. I've contacted this fellow and asked him to put up a description and details on this thread, or at least forward the info to me and I can post it.
