Thanks Gary for posting this.

This year’s Open Day should be bigger and better than ever with a few aircraft confirmed as displaying including we hope the P-51D Mustang Marinell (we are very grateful to Maurice Hammond). Also we hope to show some progress with one of our P-51 projects and Gary Dean’s magnificent P-51 will be in attendance as well as the usual selection of military vehicles and re-enactors.

We will also be showcasing much of the progress on the restoration of the original airfield buildings.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers

Jason

I presume you are talking about the Musee de bataille de Normandie .From memory photos used to be permitted – the museum has gone through a lot of changes and the aviation room was much reduced on my last visit. They used have to have a magnificent Spitfire Mk IX crash diorama a few years back.

Found this photo from 2004 which may show part of a cannon??

Bottisham Airfield Museum are after an emergency canopy release handle and the canopy winding handle/mechanism for its P-51D project.

Also the bomb salvo release handles/mechanism and trim console.[ATTACH=CONFIG]234408[/ATTACH]

Any leads on Link trainer parts especially a desk.

Many thanks

I consider myself very fortunate to have seen Stuart’s spit in the flesh – its stunning!!! Something for us all to aspire to. Also he’s incredibly generous and helpful to others as well. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Tony,

Do you want to pop in for a coffee – would be good to talk P-51’s – I live just behind the American Air Museum.

Thanks Gary.

For those not on facebook this is the windshield we are trying to buy for our P-51 Mustang project.

Any support greatly appreciated.

Planes can be rebuilt as long as you are ok that’s the main thing.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
