A minor request Terry. If the Tin Tent should again travel to Parham Field next year, would it be possible to make some more complete shots of the B-17G "Lady Velma" model which is in a display case? A model club member, Allen Perret, unfortunately now deceased, had begun a flying model of that model because his father, Warren Perret, was the bombardier. I have the two shots you posted from your previous trip. My request is because I have the plans, parts and pieces which Allen started and I told his younger brother and family of my intent to finish and fly the model. As I recall from your descriptions of the Parham museum, the exhibits were very crowded, restricting good photography. Anything of markings of the rear half would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Chef!it was on the real ship Jim, originally to slow landing aircraft.
Thanks! That's all I have. I plan to do more research as it gets closer to finish, color and markings. Allen's younger brother says the got very little family info on their Dad's wartime life.
Lucky bastards. Have fun Terry and say hi to Karl from me.Just getting ready to head off down to Norfolk, for my first visit to the Tin Tent this year.
Meeting up with Karl tomorrow, when we'll have a BBQ and a beer or ten, then we're going to the air show at Sywell on Sunday. This show is the first at Sywell for many years, and will be more or less like "Flying Legends", with a great line up, so should be good.
We might also get to Lakenheath on Monday, and hopefully see some F-15 action.
As usual, 'net connection on site is poor and sporadic, so probably won't be any up-dates until I return home, next Thursday, when I'll start posting pics.
Play nicely whilst I'm away ...................
