Gee that is looking fantastic.

Many, many moons ago I was given a Beaufort tail wheel which was brand new, I knew
of this aircraft being restored and visited her when she was in Brisbane. I spoke with
a chap named Ralf Kusack who at the time was the owner and may still be, told him
that I had a tail wheel which I donated to the project. In return Ralf gave me this panel
off an Australian Beaufort which he had salvaged off a wreck somewhere in the south
west pacific. So pleased to see progress on this machine and I wonder if she sits on my
tail wheel?

The panel is from under the pilots position and you can just see the bomb mission markings.

Hi
The name is Ralph Cusack and yes I think A9-141 is sitting on your tail wheel but I will check with Ralph for you,
The main wheels and brakes are from a P3 Orion as they are the correct size and are safer
Thanks for your info
Kind regards
John
