Hi everyone.
While not all of you are located over here (Down Under that is) I thought it worthwhile mentioning that myself and restorer Ashley Briggs have formed Warbird Restoration Services based in Melbourne.
The main focus for us is to bring together as many other like minded volunteers who can chip in and help other community organisations with their restorations where there may be a lack of funds / access to materials or skill sets. We formed this group as a way of bridging that gap and thus being able to help rescue a number of aircraft before it is too late and they rot beyond salvage.
No cost or anything like that other than our time and the like, we are doing this because we love what we do
When the working bees are scheduled (like the DC-3 one I posted about last week) people are getting together and having fun working on these craft while saving them - oh and of course a free feed and drink always help ! There will also be days in the factory as well - where there are a number of P-40's a P-51 (VH-BOB), CAC Wackett, two CAC Boomerangs, a Wirraway, a Wamira and a few Spitfire remains.
I've set up a Facebook page to get things going while I work on the website.
https://www.facebook.com/WarbirdRestorationServices We will aim to have as many pictures as we can of various processes and restorations so that others may benefit and use them for reference in the future.
Cheers
Ewan
