Extremely impressive detail here John. How long did it take you guys to assemble this?

[Boac]

Yes - well done to all.

Thanks TGG, you have to bear in mind that these boards are displayed next to our example of the described aircraft, engine of whatnot and that the photographs on the board are not necessarily depicting our particular thing.

I guess these are the product of a couple of years or more dedicated effort and we have quite a few more to do.

I was also very interested in the detail on the Aermacchi. The MB-326 was flown by the SAAF, where it was designated as the Atlas Impala, being built under licence by Atlas Aircraft. They were used as primary trainers, and were the steed of the the Silver Falcons aerobatics team, but also saw heavy use in combat in Angola where they were used in the ground attack role.

Had a very enjoyable visit to the Ashburton Aviation Museum earlier; great things happening there with construction of the proposed extensions to be started soon, I gather.
Quite a few people there and more arriving. Great day for it

Pleased to hear you visited! Fund raising for the extension is going well. The new hangar will be about the same size as the existing big hangar and will include more facilities for visitors. I think we have enough aircraft on hand to fill it already!
