You will think I’m taking the ****, but I have a AP drawing titled ‘How to wrap your pigeon’. The idea being that you wrapped it up in a piece of paper like a bag of chips before throwing it out into the aircraft slipstream. By the time the pigeon had wriggled free it had slowed down sufficiently not to have been killed by the high speed. Interesting stuff:)

Hence the reason for suggesting a smaller more viable aircraft to operate. If they can keep raising these amounts of money then they would be very well placed to let their passion continue.

Any FN5/ FN50 components gathering dust out there? Would be very grateful for any leads on FN5 turret parts no matter how small, mangled and rusty they are please to assist a project. Not many opportunities left to restore turrets nowadays so would really appreciate any help to try and piece one more back together.

Could try these….

Wow, looking forward to volume 5 on the chrimbo list, thanks

out of interest, how much roughly does a private piece of art work cost? The idea i have is a Lancaster, but with the detail in the airfield over which it is flying as per an exact layout of a known Bomber Command airfield. Infact probably just an aerial view Landscape.
