ML417 gone to the USA

Nope, that’s a home grown board

It may have some resemblance to the old warbirds board, because their are so many familiar faces posting there, but it’s actually, a very different and definately a big site in it’s own right. It’s been going about 3 months, gets 41,000 hits per day on average,has had nearly 4,000 messages posted in that time, and has some very interesting personalities lurking on the periphery (across the site).

The board owner, is a USAF ex-“brat” who loves vintage aircraft,and grew up on a B-52 base, and thought the Internet needed a board, where everyone could share discoveries , interests etc. Topics are many and varied, but the nicest thing about it, is by and large, people pool information.

So far, the information sharing, has discovered at least 5 “new” warbirds, helped various people with projects, and been quite a good place to let off steam, with no fear of censure, or worrying about upsetting warbird owners, by saying something they don’t want to hear.(You fly it,You broke it, you pay for it etc.)

Stephen was kind enough, to describe it as errrrr “lively” which considering some of the conversations that have gone on, is a bit of an understatement.

I suppose the easiest way to describe it, is that this forum, has a wonderful “Britishness” about it, a sort of seriousness, that this type of industry always needs.. The warbirds board, is very much more “Freewheeling and American” if you understand what i mean by that.

Co-incidentally, the board owner, is also trying to construct an in depth warbird registry, so everyone who can help, is more than welcome to contribute
