the inside of my hooter looked like it came off the thistlegorm but it works if you got all of them out could you make one good bike from the bits

Strange how all the handlebars seem to have corroded away,or where they shipped out without bars?---or is it just my eyes?..Mick.

Re: Here a pretty cool Thistlegorm movie.

Just found Jacques Cousteau's film "The Silent World" 1956 on youtube there is a pretty good shot of an M20 at about 40:40, this was about 15 years after the sinking, there are rumours that Jacques recovered an M20 I wonder where it went?

I think they did bring an M20 upon to the deck of the "Calypso" in 1955,there is a photo in one of the several books released at the time of the TV series.
