What's the status of your Shrike? Haven't heard anything for a while.

Hi,

Thanks for your intrest Jack were in the final stages now, hooking up engine controls, installing fuel lines, oil lines, oil cooler, carb ducting, wiring,ect. The decision was made to replace the flap spars in the center section and rebuild all of the flap mechanism to new condition They will be able to be hand operated from inside the bomb bay, they would like the option of displaying it with flaps and bomb doors open or closed the same with cowl flaps, canopys, ect. The plan is now to put the final paint and markings on after shipment to the museum to save on possible shipping damage. I will try to get some current photos soon.

Thanks Mike

Jack do you have any A25 photos in you collection? If so could you post a few ?
