BabelFish had this to say about the French: babelfish.altavista.com/""Ben heuuuu:ange: it is not me which have it ridge but I observed some sites, the advantage of the models of planes is that they are out of plastic, it is thus much easier to obtain torsions of the fuselage, éventrations and perforating rust... aprés the whole is a question of painting, récup, setting in scêne and especially of observation of real wrecks; to know the structure of a plane, and the consequences of a crash landing and oxidation of metals in time allows dioramas than realistic more I show you two achievements which one can see there, it is to to me opinion that they will say something to you..." |

I see your P-40s and raise you B-29s over B-24s..................... Raising the stakes . . . it helps if you can read French: "ben heuuuu :ange: c'est pas moi qui l'ai faîte  mais j'ai observé quelques sites, l'avantage des maquettes d'avions est qu'elles sont en plastique, il est donc beaucoup plus facile d'obtenir des torsions de la carlingue, des éventrations et de la rouille perforante... aprés le tout est une question de peinture, de récup, de mise en scêne et surtout d'observation d'épaves réelles; connaître la structure d'un avion, et les conséquences d'un crash et de l'oxydation des métaux dans le temps permet des dioramas plus que réalistes  je vous montre deux réalisations que l'on peut y voir, il m'est avis qu'elles vont vous dire quelque chose... www.forum-auto.com/les-clubs/discussions-salon/sujet221-210.htmQuelques photos étonnantes, et triste, dans quelques cas, comme cela me faisait penser "quel gâchis". J'espère il ya eu des projets de restauration puisque certaines de ces photos ont été prises. Merci Buttocks, Stu. P.s. Je ne suis pas un savant bite qui peuvent parler le français, j'ai utilisé Google pour apparaître futé!  |

The Gisborne DC3 may look a little tatty but behind you can see the extention being added to their hangar so before too long it may be inside .

I have removed the post and will add the photo to the Gisborne visit thread. I am sure the volunteers at the GAPS are doing all they can to restore her and its a bit unfair to say she is unloved.

True Colin, at least a museum has it and as Richard says there seems to be an extension to the hangar. I just found it ironic that, so the rumour goes, the owner apparently shifted it to Gisborne from Ohakea because he thought the RNZAF Museum there was not looking after the paintwork, etc.

An addition at Wanganui that has been posted elsewhere:  Fletcher Fu24-950M ZK-CBG, shot March 2009. Keen to see what other Fletchers are out there in the weather.... |

Now THAT's what I like to see! A formerly unloved aircraft being liberated from the dire grip of the airport grass! |

Interesting photos Shamus. Even if the Airtourers might be still around, I'd bet that the Marina is no longer still on the road.

That last photo - if you removed the car and just had the Airtourer sitting on the trailer, it would look like a little zippy convertible car, albeit with a slightly unstable wheel arrangement. |

Been a while since I posted that - having a closer loook yeah, its not a Beaufort - I misread the crushed nose (looks like a Beaufort profile at first glance - but its not supposed to!). It isnt a Ventura as it has 9 Cylinder radials and it has a solid nose with a large door in the side - that would probably make it a C60.... is that better? |
