Went for a fly last night and caught up with this machine.
Looks pretty good I reckon.

As usual, great shots which make me really envious......

Is this the start of volume 2 for the Classic Warbirds Air to Air???? After volume 1, some of us are awaiting volume 2 thumbup1.gif

I really, really, don't think so. A wannabe is kinda sad, really. Go get one of these instead.

Will let you know when we start on another but this aeroplane will not be in it, but it was good practice.
A new restoration project is coming to NZ soon (not my place to say what it is yet but it is very rare indeed) which is going to be pretty amazing so that could be the aeroplane we need to make the next book a success.
We need to be sure we have enough new aeroplanes before doing it again so that those who bought the first go on to buy the second.

Can't help this itch ... Fighter or Bomber ? rare meaning one has been done or a totally new never done before type that makes it rare ?
