Hi Paul,
Many, many thanks for the kind words - "We aims to please....!"
Dave McDonald (Hi Dave!) did a fabulous job rounding up the world's extant Bf109/Bucon/Avias to produce the definitive survivors reference with photos of virtually every example. I'm in the fortunate position of being able to sacrifice one of each of the five issues to produce a stand alone '109 survivors booklet for my own reference.
The Precision Aerospace article will be followed by progressive update reports. Murray is progressively expanding the range of components being produced for an expanding range of worldwide clients.
Jim - ref The Gotha in Tennessee, it is being put together by prolific builder/restorer Ron Bloomquist (has completed SE5a, Pup & Dr.1 replicas, restored one of two Slingsby Tiger Moth/Rumplers, built a Pietenpol, Dormoy Bathtub etc), not Ed Storo who has since moved to Oregon. His (Ed's) former project, the stunning Bristol F2B replica continues to be maintained in magnificent condition by Stuart Tantrum's Antique Aeroworks team at our local field, Omaka Aerodrome here in N.Z. It was flying as recently as 10 days ago. Meanwhile, back in Oregon, Ed and his wife 'Pete' are working on their latest project, a Bristol Bulldog full scale airworthy replica. A discreet second seat is to be fitted for Pete as she likes to travel with Ed to the various fly-ins etc. There is no end to the range of interesting projects on the horizon!!
Cheers guys and thanks again for your kind words!
