Welcome to our little world!

I hope you don't think anybody is decrying the NASMs work - I guess quite the opposite, NASM are probably a victim of your own success in that the many wonderful complete restorations that the Garber Centre has undertaken over the years mean that anything less than the full monty (or should it be the full Mikesh) now seems second best in the short term

I suppose we all have our different favourites of the aircraft in store and all of us hope that their own favourites will be next in line to be restored to the standard of the Gekko, the Seiran, the Me 262 or the Ar 234. They will be in time I am sure. In the meantime I'm sure many will be pleased just to see a number of the airframes reassembled, unrestored but nevertheless on public show for the first time in many moons.

The He 219 seems a very popular next one on the line - but how about the Horten Flying Wing or the Bv155 or even The Swoose or etc etc...................

One plea though - don't do an RAFM Halifax on us! Don't just restore a prominent bit and plonk it on the unrestored hulk!
