Cheers guys!
Damien, no new lens yet… all with the crappy 75-300… oh! the purple halos…
The Storch replica definitely got a lot of attention. So much even, the owner dropped me an e-mail to rectify a few points about it. Let me quote from the e-mail:
My aeroplane is loosely based upon a “kit” kit but is certainly not representative of that product. For instance, the engine cowlings are completely different and more representative of the original.
For so many reasons, I always refer to my aeroplane as a Fieseler Fi156 Storch Replica…. which it IS.
One correspondent makes reference to a recent article in one of the aviation magazines. This was in “PILOT” magazine, but, because it does not represent the character and “end product” of my own example. I wrote a disclaimer letter to “PILOT” and they had the good grace to publish my letter last month, for which I thank them again.
Keep your eyes peeled for something special coming up SOON !…. Elsewhere but in England.
I have made many, many modifications and improvements, all of which have been approved and incorporated through the Popular Flying Association (Engineering Dept).
The colour scheme is entirely accurate and is a copy of an actual aeroplane, which, as it turns out, was shot down on exactly the day that I was born !
Many thanks for passing on the info to the other readers and for setting the record straight about MY aeroplane, which is unique.
With best regards,
John Ashby.
