    Good visit to the “Old Dart”….biz plus Old Warden evening show and North Weald on the Sunday…bit too windy for me…blow a dog off a chain actually…

    In Basel, Red Bull B-25 arrived and departed with a low fly-by…immaculate and nostalgic for me..

    Public announcement on MOF so hopefully will happen…using Zuccoli collection as the backdrop due o “security concerns” @ OAK.

    Oz Govt about to make announcment of $2.0M grant to Australian Army Museum of Flying at Oakey Army Air Field in the next few days. Amazing that it takes an election[or as my Thai friends say, an erection] to get the pollies moving…good luck to Army for this as they have lived in a couple of tin sheds forever.

    I hear an ex-Forest Protection TBM is headed our way [with a Bearcat??]. Don’t know the owner.
