Wow! These are great! My favourites have to be the natural-metal A4D, the Shawnee, and that stunning Harpoon. What a collection! Thanks heaps for the link! :drink3:

Now, who'll be first to say which of these airframes survive and where?

I contacted Bob Garrard regarding the B-25 photos in his collection, He refused (which is his option) to let me obtain the copies without the Bob Garrard watermark because he didn’t take the pictures. I sure would have loved to have been able to add those B-25s to my collection.

Try the NMUSAF: some were in Dave Menard's collection (without watermark!). Not really 'on' to cite the "not mine" BS, when they're obviously in many cases available elsewhere.

wow - those are all really cool - the YB-52, The Goblin - just wow! Can you imagine an air show with that kind of hardware now? - NEVER.
