    Hi Peter,

    Your work is very impressive!

    I have been working on a model of a FN121 turret with Acad 2007. I haven’t yet detailed the accommodation plate so the vertical frame members aren’t in their exact locations.

    I managed to find and scan two pages from the Sept 1942 edition of “Flying”.

    My guess of the first image is an early Stirling, with a FN4 tail and FN7 mid upper turret. The second certainly shows how massive the undercarriage was.

    I hope they are of some use to you.

    Hi Peter,

    I’ve been tied up with work and projects around the house.

    I hope to resume work on it someday very soon!

    Has the market become saturated or has the internet made it easier for sellers to showcase their items? Or both?

    Will prices for common items (e.g., electrical components) continue to climb or have they leveled off?

    Interesting, it could possibly be from the same Annie.

    There was an ad posted in the local paper a few years back asking landowners if they knew the location of these old airframes.

    I wonder how many still sit out there today.

    As a young boy I went with my dad and grandpa to strip bits of off an Anson hulk.

    The fuselage was bought by the farmer who salvaged what he could and hauled the rest into the hedge bordering one of his fields.

    Some farmers only bought them for the tires.

    Thanks for posting!

    I grew up nearby, so the airshows at Trenton have always been my favourite.

    I think that I have some video coverage of an early/mid 90’s show. I should get it uploaded and post it to youtube.

    There is talk of restarting the airshow again. As you probably know, with the operational commitments of the base it’s difficult for them to commit to anything.

    Yep, good ole George!

    I never heard about a Mossie flying from Georges. Do you know where it went?

    Here are three from my collection……

    Hi Darrell,

    The construction is not at all symmetrical.

    My father picked up this piece at the Ventress farm. I could have been with him when he found it, but can’t remember as I was quite young!

    Guys, thanks for your help!

    I guess that Mosquito bits and yellow fabric don’t quite jive.

    It’s possible that it could be from a Crane or Anson as those types were also found near by.

    I did peak in through one corner and didn’t see anything. It’s completely hollow and weighs next to nothing. The two holes are probably finger holes to lift out and replace the panel.

    An oval opening would be all that’s visible from the aircraft exterior and it could only be removed from inside the aircraft.

    It was found in Canada near the remnants of a an airframe believed to be a Mossie.
