Over the years have visited both Museums. When Harold Thomas was alive he was most helpful with our project.
Have crawled all over the Moorabbin aircraft, naturally they want to keep their a/c intact.
Other helpful guys have been Robert at HARS where we recently acquired gun bay doors, the Museum at Darwin where we obtained pattern flying controls and engine cowlings. Like HARS we also obtained a large amount of engine spares from SafeAir who used to overhaul the Bristol Freighter Engines.
Keep the thoughts coming.
