Glad to hear the project is still ticking over. I will be buying at least four copies when it comes out, whenever that is!
JDK, i’m sure you’re sick of people saying ‘i can help, let me in!!’ but i work for a large format inkjet printing company, we do mainly posters etc, but if there is anything i can do to help i’m sure i can twiddle a few knobs (so to speak). Maybe leading up to release a small marketing program… just an idea. Good luck with it all, can’t wait!

That’s great news yak139! I can’t wait to see some piccies. From the photos i’ve seen on Hawker Rest. website i am very impressed. Will be great to have another of these rare birds in the skies of Britain. Especially being a Mk.1 in its authentic personal scheme. Lovely stuff.

Unfortunately due to various circumstances, it has been very difficult for me to access this site over the last few months and managed to view this thread on a friends PC.
I have the Biggin 82&83 video which Steve964 so kindly lent out. I’m sorry, but I have not had the best year and certain unexpected events occurred during Spring/Summer time that knocked me off course. I came down with Glandular Fever and had to get through my last year at University mostly in my bedroom. I had completely forgotten about the video I’m afraid. I believe it is in my video box that I have yet to unpack from my move back from Brighton, so it is safe.
As far as I can remember the next person on the list was Eric Mc. At the time I PM’d him asking for his address, but no reply.
Steve, I will post it asap to wherever you wish, be it straight back to you or to the next on the list.
I must apologise for this escapade, I can assure you it was not intentional. To all the members who have yet to see it, i’m sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully you will get a chance in the very near future.

Once again, my heartfelt apologies.

You gotta love the sound of that DB605. probably the nicest sounding warbird engine around, close competition from the La-9’s Asch and the Centaurus in VR930. hmmmmmmmmm. I’d love to see it over here. imagine Legends next year… Red 7 and RACo’s Buchon do an airfield attack, scramble scramble!!!

ok here we go…

Seeing as everyone is being so brave, here is my first ever portrait in front of a warbird. The aircraft is of course the (then) TFC P-51D ‘Moose/Candyman’. The photo was taken on a non airshow day around the mid-late eighties. My dad was getting some detailed pictures of the aircraft at the time to aid building a near scratch built 1/6th scale model.
