Thanks for posting. Herb T. should be congratulated on yet another stunning rebuild.
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 $2.0M grant to Australian Army Museum of Flying at Oakey Army Air Field in the next few days. Amazing that it takes an election[or as my Thai friends say, an erection] to get the pollies moving…good luck to Army for this as they have lived in a couple of tin sheds forever.
Let’s see now; GM – Eastern Aircraft, built 400 Avengers in the month mine was made…more than 12 per day or one every 30 minutes…
A Col. Bahvindhi Singh is the reputed owner…
Now has anyone heard about the Mustangs [sic] in a hangar/shed??? in Northern India?? People from Oz went looking a few years ago and it is said they saw them but could not do a deal as the “owner” was a f#$&*…
My father polished Spitfire V’s/VIII’s and Kittyhawks in the RAAF during WW2 to make them faster. He told me they used floor polish. They looked glossy…
Sounds good..
I’m in Europe for a few days on biz..buying a couple more aircraft. Staying over the w/end and returning on 14th. Be back in France around 1st week October…
Love that fin flash…..maybe it’s going to fly backwards..
A-1’s
Then there were the four flying A-1’s parked in Thailand that I was offered in 1975by Gen Heine Aderholt for $20K 🙁 – the lot…didn’t have 20 bucks then..
JP, should have put one or two in your kitbag…retirement $$$$’ss.
I hear an ex-Forest Protection TBM is headed our way [with a Bearcat??]. Don’t know the owner.
I’ve looked into a RN Pac Flt colour scheme. Interesting, but if I do repaint her it may be back as she was born.
Nice shot of my Avenger @ Caboolture..1999
A-26/B-25/F4F/plus Buchons…where/when???
