Strong interest in aircraft and aviation amongst you guys. I'll see if I can find some pictures you may find interesting. My son restored Spitfire wings for a local business for 4 years mainly working on Kermit Weeks owned projects. The owner was associated with another restoration guy in the area that had ME262 and Focke Wulfe for restoration and while working on these he was storing one of the ex Spanish HE111's that appears in the 1969 Battle or Britain film. I sat in the pilots seat and front gunner position and took some pics.
The FW190 was very sophisticated and have to say manufacturing method was so much simpler than the Spit. The ME262 was something else, the auxiliary engines amused me because they would probably have powered a craft in their own right.
I didn't get any pics of the Howard Hughes mystery ship ... that was a closely guarded secret project but I did see an touch it!
I'll see what I can find.... and I'm not lying!
