Postcard sent to Aid & Abet:
Flying Officer Sewart spent 6 days at RAF Neatishead on a mission to investigate “the unidentified high flying aircraft that have been plotted in recent months”. The report was completed on 27th January 1947, but is missing from the Public Record Office, listed as an attachment to the station logbook.

Sending things in
Further my last post, i requested an image from CJ at Aid and Abet to see how the objects we were sending in looked in the project space. As we havent been to the gallery since the project started everything has been posted or emailed in. The image shows a frame from the video made for the opening night of Space Exchange. Dominique and I will be at Aid and Abet on Saturday and look forward to seeing all our objects again, although actually they are not ours as we are gathering this research on behalf of Dave. Hope he likes them.

Touring Territories
Designed the Rendlesham Forest research poster over the weekend. Approved the proof today. Hopefully they’ll arrive on Friday. They’re on flimsy paper again to give a slight newsprint feel, but not as thin as the forest traces posters from last week. The plan is to take a load of them to Aid & Abet on Saturday, when we do our talk, and pile them on the floor near the Satellite research show-and-tell table. The budget only stretched to 250 – so it is a limited edition by virtue of cost – the question is – will the pile look ‘pile-like’ enough? Perhaps we can find a wooden pallet nearby and place them ontop?

Re: Operation Charlie
William Kent’s encounter with ‘Charlie’ over East Anglia continued for 20 minutes as the ground controller supplied instructions and the navigator tried to capture the object on the Mosquito’s radar.

Information by Dr David Clarke from www.uk-ufo.org/condign/histcharlie and http:www.project1947.com
The site continues: A Mosquito of No. 23 Sqdn scrambled at 2327 hrs with pilot F/L Kent. An attempt was made to close when contact was made at 18,000 feet but ‘the observer was unable to hold it as the target was jerking violently’. Further contacts were obtained as the target fell rapidly to 2,000 feet, when both the blip and the mosquito disappeared below radar coverage.

Posting
One of the real joys of this project is our being able to work with both the virtual (internet research and this blog) and the physical (visiting places and sending things to Aid and Abet for display).
The radar museum badge was posted to Aid and Abet today in a rather interesting envelope I found on my shelf.
