This is the award winning Grasshopper with the Brodie wire system at Oshkosh. I never got round to reading the story of the system so others may add more info. It was a very interesting aircraft and magnificently restored.

Perhaps it’s a new way of hiding “JANIE” or maybee we could launch A L on a recce mission from it to find “JANIE”
Also again I say go lay down in a darkened room or have a few more glasses of the amber nectar, I mean more Mustang piccies, paahhhhh.

Maybe, who knows?
But it does show precedent!

So it’s not the IWM’s new way of displaying aircraft then?

hi Scull,
Only two this year 😡 The other one was the one in the accident in 98 (not the Cavvanaugh one obviously). Howard Pardues Bearcat was also back for the first time since then.
I will bring the other shots on a CD his weekend.
Here is a detail shot of Gary Koh’s (spelling?) Corsair:

More pictures of Corsairs would be nice 😀 how many were there this year?????
By: Mark V - 6th August 2003 at 18:00
I did, its tempting but I think I had better stick with new pics. I have some of the Mustangs at Oshkosh this past week if anyone is interested.
