Now take note children, here is the lesson: For 699 quid this man could have bought how many P-40s or F4Us in the adjacent paddock? And how much would they be worth today compared to his Bambina? (sigh) Less storage costs for 55 years! |

Nice to run into you yesterday Peter. I'm hoping that '53 may have strayed in front of your camera at some stage!

NZ5755 used to be at Wangaratta. Not sure if it is still there.
