hi everbody just joined recently and am amazed at the quaility and scope of info,also surprised to see so many of the "y" and "x" gen showing such interest.have been ww2 freak since grannie took me to see the Battle of Britan approx 1969/70 and fell in love with flying old war planes.have been lucky enough to have been up in a P51 with a dickie seat,what an experince and also to have an old aussie spit pilot from the pto give me a lesson in what it was like doing hi speed turns and peeling off like a fighter in a twin engined cessna.am starting model building again in my old age(49)but hopefully with more skill and patience.pete_madi

Heh....I love the irony of the plane being named "Down with Everything", about three feet in front of additional markings that read "UP".


Oh, and welcome Pete, you lucky b*stard!!!!!

I wonder if there really was a connection between the two?
