Hi Guys,

While I was surfing around Youtube I found a vid pertaining to another B-24 Restoration. I think this is the one being done down in Australia...but I figured Gary (Retroaviation) might like this as well considering he is doing such a great job on Diamond Lil....enjoy

Wow, they're sure doing a much nicer job than I am. :oops: I bet they don't have to have theirs flying by April of this year though. :wink:

Thanks for the link to the video.

I believe this one is an amalgam of several wrecks, and is being rebuilt strictly as a static display. The guys are certainly doing a fantastic job!

Thanks for sharing Paul...I believe this is the restoration that Colin Gray has been working on. The restoration looks top notch...but I did cringe a bit when I saw the bright green primer on the inside of the ball turret. :(
