Another camera phone video shot by a pal in MT ... see a previous thread for a Corsair tearing it up as well. I'll add more soon.

NICE! That's something you don't see every day.

I love that burbling sound!

Oh, that's the reclusive Stonehenge guy. What's his name again, I forget?

The only reclusive stonhenge guy I know of is Connie Edwards. He literally has built several stonghenge replicas at his ranch.

Does this guy have stonehenges' also?

Hope all is well across the pond!

Hello Ashley,

Good to hear from you.

.........

The photo of 'Stonehenge' does not do justice to sheer scale of the edifice.

It is full size, of course, but some of those individual stones weigh in excess of 50 tons.

Peter that second picture is a peach. Just really sorry we could not get there in 2004.

Are you sure it's full size? I mean, those stones would have to be like 18 feet tall.

Couldn't help myself...

It's full size, but regular, without several thousand years of natural erosion.

David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

Sorry, just what I was thinking of when I saw the awesome Stonehenge photo...

Hello Steve-
Great to hear from you- It is hard to believe that was four years ago! Sorry you couldn't make it to Montana either. However, any time you do make a trip to the states, Montana should be in your itinerary.

Steve and PeterA, along with, LaurieB from the Flypast board played a major role in providing us with the info to accurately reproduce the Seafire Paint scheme. LaurieB also wrote a fine piece about the history of this particular Seafire for our website. With their help, it turned out really well!

Thanks for tolerating my warped sense of humor, Peter. Thankfully it appears only a minority of us thought of "Spinal Tap" while playing word association.

So tell me, did the Druids really use golfcarts? Were the Seafires the cause of their eventual disappearance? I never cease to learn new things when I post here!

Where in Montana was video shot? I was just up there this summer. I've read of this Seafire and Connie Edwards but honestly completely forgot
about trying to visit his facility. I believe the Seafire was restored by Nelson Ezell a few years back.
