A little video with some information about one of our finds. #aviation #history #historic #badge

Publicado 2024-03-17
When we detected this and uncovered it, we knew it was a badge but couldn't quite make out what it said on it properly. When we got it home we could clearly see the name AMY and one side of the name was a map of Britain and on the other side was a map of Australia. We realised then that it was something to do with Amy Johnson. This got me researching and I would like to share it with you. ‪@xpmetaldetector‬ ‪@allterrainwheelchairs6875‬ ‪@MagicMobility‬ ‪@britishaviationgroup2167‬

    I was born and brought up in Hull. I only knew part of her story. Her statue is, I believe, on Ferensway. I now live in Canada, and this is the first time that I have heard the full story.

    It's good to know what it is and who made it but I wonder who bought it and how did it get to where it was found. I have the tail fin from an intact WW2 incendiary bomb that we found in the loft space of my parents home. I often wonder how many hands it went through from manufacture to delivery.
  • Sorry You Tube seems to have reduced the broadcast volume starting about 3 days ago! My Win 11 is at max volume, sound still too low. Between that and your charming but harder to understand accent (to an American) i mostly caught the jist by way of the pictures. Glad you found a badge medal from Amy Johnson! I'll look up more about her never having heard of her. Congrats Disabled Metal Detecting and Rambling Adventures. I have a phys disability of chronic pain, from currently 5 chronic soft tissue injuries. I can do lots of stuff, but only for a short time / short number of reps.
  • Hello Jon. I noticed that you subbed to my channel recently, and I just completed a project that I think you might benefit from. I made a slide hammer style shovel for another gentlemen who uses a wheel chair detecting. This allows you to dig plugs with a detecting shovel using 2 hands while still being upright in your chair. I do not sell these things, and I do not know anyone currently who is. But a competent welder should be able to fabricate one for you once seeing the design. I stuck the finished one on my community tab, but have a couple more detailed shots on my fb group. Again this isn't some kind of solicitation, just trying to perpetuate the idea so more folks can benefit from it. take care and happy hunting

    My auntie flew from 🛩 England to Australia — via Apartheid South Africa — its full name is Whyte Australia Policy

    Apparently she was not a good pilot, crashed her first attempt on take off, then after months of repairs her original navigator refused to fly with her.
