The Oxford is moving ahead real quick (by resto standards), it is nice to see her on her wheels at last, even did a little bit of work on that one myself.

I thought i saw some toast crumbs and an empty corona bottle under the P-40 this morning.....and a ginger tail hanging out of the cockpit....well i suppose it is a Kitty-hawk, go for it Marsbar tongue.gif ....and Ian, clean up after your breakfast smile.gif

Cool place to work! The Seasprite threw me, I didn't think it looked like any of the hangers at Ardmore and it seemed unlikely for Whenuapai...and I'm reasonably certain the hanger on boar the ships isn't that big biggrin.gif

It is dude, i consider myself lucky to be part of it....unpaid at the moment, but to be honest, i think i would pay them to be doing what Im doing at the moment. Strange really...it was because of getting sick, i ended up out there, and being there makes me feel so ....not sick ....i love it. Will get some more pics for you during the week.

Good on ya mate...if I were still living in Auckland I would be volunteering at MOTAT or NZ Warbirds I think. I went out to both last time I went up (I had been to MOTAT but not to the Warbirds hanger before), didn't realise the first time I went that they wanted volleys. I'd love to get all up in that Lancaster's junk biggrin.gif
