: my research and interest lies primarily with post WW2 RCA
: F Lancasters, however most are not aware that I am opening
: a pub with a Commonwealth military aviation theme...appro

: n Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada (also the birthplace of ice
: hockey - 1800, home to the oldest private school in the D
: ominion - 1780's, and we're just a stones throw away from
: the oldest, original wooden military structure in North Am
: erica - The Blockhouse circa 1750).
:
: On to my request - I'd like to hear from ANYONE who would
: be willing to make a trip to their local flying or static
: Spitfire and pose for a picture with a greeting for my pub
: . It would be greatly appreciated if you can send any tec
: hnical info about the Spit(s) in your pic(s). I can email
: the "CHEERS" sign as a word document and will gladly acce
: pt paper prints via post or digicam files. You, and whoev
: er else poses with you, will then be put up on display for
: our GRAND OPENING in January 2003!
:
: I'm all about asking others for assistance because I do th
: e same when asked myself. Can anyone assist? Please drop
: by my website and have a look!

: Cheers,
: Troy Kirkby, Publican
: The Spitfire Arms Alehouse

: PS - there is a free pint to anyone who helps out...just i
: n case you happen to be in this part of the world at any t
: ime in future.

Troy, the Y2-K Spitfire based on the other Canadian Coast will be happy to supply you with a Spitfire picture. The restoration team at Comox B.C on Vancouver Island are busy getting TE 294 ready for her first flight (in about 5 years) we would be proud to have a picture of our Spitfire in your Pub.
