A Bit More de Havilland

[Charl]

I finally cleaned up these repaints, and took these two for a beatup of the countryside near Palmy.
I was amazed again, at how small these planes were, especially sitting on the ground.
And how truly different they look...

Matey , Fighters , from the era , I would have thought the Mk22/24 Spits and the huge Fury's off the period were more technical than a Vampire , in Wigram you have the oppitunity to sit in a two seat cockpit , as you enter the museum one of these single seat hang directly in front of you , to the right the 2 seat cockpit .

Nice Screen Charl .

Haven't been there for years...funny thing, we were headed to Christchurch 10 days ago, but other stuff happened.
I was planning a visit to Wigram - hope it's not broken - definitely would like a look at the Vampire.

Just fingers crossed , this side off the city it rocked heavy but its the eastern side hit real bad , i cant compare it to 6 months back , this was an awake experience , logic makes you think we got off lightly , lost so much in the central area , i only hope my choice spot survived .

Great screen Charl....the museum got off scott free, and is up and running as normal.

OK that is very good to hear Marty, hope you're able to finish your cleanup quickly and restart a semblance of normal life.

Pleased for 'Wigram' Loose that and i would have moved away - typical of Wartime built buildings design for a few blast shocks .
