Talk:Lady Be Good (aircraft)

message: This article was originally part of Lady Be Good and was created by other writers. I have moved the discussion about the aircraft to its own article. 23skidoo 20:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: For anyone interested, the original Lady Be Good article is now a disambiguation page, with separate articles now for Lady Be Good (musical) and Lady Be Good (1941 film). 23skidoo 03:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article origins

message: I made an effort to place the coordinates of the plane.  I could not find any existing coordinates besides 385 nm / 440 sm "south" of Tobruk (sometimes given as 385 nm/440 sm south of Soluch but not according to this map), and 150 magnetic heading from Soluch.  The magnetic declination on that date was -1.9 deg.  This triangulates it near 25.7° N 24.6° E.  If anyone can narrow this further, so much the better. -Timvasquez 06:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I just found this source which says "351 nm southeast of Solucha", along the 150 mag heading (148 deg true).  If this is correct we'd be looking at 27.1N 23.7E.  Then we have another source which says a 140 degree heading!  I believe 150 mag 351 nm from Solucha is likely to be more accurate and will go with that until anyone can unravel all this apocryphal information a bit better. -Timvasquez 06:19, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Changed dates; November 9, 1958 - where did that come from? Dysmorodrepanis 17:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: November 9?

message: Probably should be named Lady be Good (B-24).  I have not got much time to change it and the links just now. Snowman 13:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article name

message: Has Edward D. Hoch ever said whether "Day of the Wizard" was based on the Lady be Good? Ralphmerridew 14:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Or did Desmond Bagley ever state that the character Luke Byrne in his 1978 novel "Flyaway" was influenced by this event? Mr Larrington (talk) 15:34, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible Reference

message: Most of the text, and the USAF EL, gives the aircraft's name as Lady Be Good, not Lady be Good, the small "b" being gramatically incorrect. We'd need to see a definitive, reliable source which gives the name as Lady be Good to move it back. - BillCJ (talk) 06:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Correct name

message: I just saw it on TV and bang bang shot down! And dont come here and make threats either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.102.43.193 (talk) 05:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please refrain from adding consipiracy theories - You will need to provide a reliable source for adding information contrary to contempary and historic sources already cited. MilborneOne (talk) 20:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Say what? i am adding conspiracy theories?? Think its vice versa here! The plane was shot down with nazi bullets and thats it, proof you say? I should have taped what they said on History channel last night, posted it on youtube and added a link here! Use your head! Plane is hit by another plane (An inexperienced crew on its first mission jumps and dies in the desert) How complicated is that to understand? This article is written like a damn conspiracy theory. Hope someone will fix this idiocy. NAZI BULLETS BANG BANG! Shame they died naturally but thats why they call it WAR.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.102.43.193 (talk) 17:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If they are other theories (either the shot down or the hit by another plane or other alternate theories) then they can be added but you need to discuss it on this page when you have reliable sources. MilborneOne (talk) 17:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conspiracy theories much??

message: The whole point that makes this case interesting is that it took so long to find her; "and was later discovered" in the introductry papragraph rather understates this. I think it should be modified to something like "and was discovered almost 16 years later by chance in 1958" (or whichever date one regards as the 'discovery' date).

thread_title: Date of finding

message: I understood (though I can state no source) that the data on how far the crew travelled over how long is now incorporated into official US manuals on desert survival, as being the real thing rather than based on volunteers in artificial tests. This is a kind of memorial to them as well, and if true should be mentioned.

thread_title: Survival data

message: A few years ago I saw a show about this on the History Channel, in they said that at some point the remains of the bomber were collected by the Libyan military and are stored. I remember a picture of the tail section in front of a hanger. If someone can confirm these things they should be added. 201.34.84.27 (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article now explains that parts were sent to the US, and the rest was stored at what was then Gamal Abdul El Nasser Air Base. Given subsequent events in Libya this raises the question of whether the wreckage still exists. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:36, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

text: NB this page has some photographs from 2009 - it was in remarkably good condition. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  What happened to the remains of the plane? 

message: The article claims two different dates for the first sighting of the aircraft: November 9, 1958 and May 16, 1958.--86.178.52.44 (talk) 01:30, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
