This P-38…

…,recovered from New Guinea, is scrubbing up well.

Looks like you really had a good time Mark12 and packed a lot in as well,And an absalute honour to meet you on that rushed panicky day.Still chasing that ID plate as well,the bloke who has them is crook at the moment,comes with old age I think as I,m feeling it myself.We,re still going, trying to get the frame profiles ready to send to the laser cutter mob to do up our formers.Sweet P38,much as I would love to see one fly for real,just standing next to it on the ground would be droolworthy.Are they going to be able to ground run her??

She’s looking very nice. I agree about increasing the numbers of P-38s.
