Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2015 1:29 pmI made huge strides yesterday, .. started drawing/painting around 8.30am and it was a WHOOPS ! 1.30 am the next morning DOUBLE WHOOPS !
Most off the research and getting further the information and photo correct was from this superb book by Tony Phillips . (printed 2006)
Only to find there has been an update .. did not see it in the shops , but available from NZCH airport only - I want that copy!

Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:49 pm , I think this is were I come in , biggest thing we are so lucky to have an author , Tony Phillips to compile such a detailed book, I gave my Vol.1 copy to a good friend who always stops here nearly every week, Vol.2 is updated with a few more chapters and photo info , a gorgeous book , still dose not have the photo that I have been working on , I have built that up from memory ... One guy Earl who now lives in Christchurch was a navigator on board VXE-6 'Phoenix' , ex-pat US Navy and now a tour guide at Wigram Museum, I must get that photo build completed with that specific aircraft ...
