Very nice website and I'm sure this has been answered on this forum before but where exactly is the collection and is it open to the public?

Nice collection...BUT...I have this pet peeve about Spitfires. The caption on the Mk VB says..."the graceful fighter that won the Battle of Britain". All I can says is...I wish they'd had some Hurricanes to "help out a bit". Just sayin'!
(Too subtle?)

Mudge the picky

I've heard some "hangar talk" that Mr. Lewis is considering building a museum-type hangar somewhere in Texas (maybe in the San Antonio area?) to house a major portion of his collection and having it be open to the public periodically.

This is a rumor only, folks. Don't get your hopes up. :roll:

Dean, I have been hearing these rumors for years. I hope some day they come to fruition. :spit
