I don't think it has been really decided yet.
But what counts is that it is a Mustang!! :wink:

Finally I've caught up with the rest of the world and subscibed today, looking forward to receiving the first two issues shortly... Sounds a great investment from the reviews I've heard so far.

To be honest, I don't know who owns it and we have been asked not to reveal details of the project at this time. Mike V might be able to shed more light when the time is right.

Hi JDK

Got Mine - pleased to see your article of big ugly pommie biplanes - one of my favourites .

What about an article on the whole subject of other stupidly big ugly Pommie stuff like Baffin , Vildebeste, Vincent etc make for a most amusing read I think - why build such gigantic single prop brick outhouses!!! I just love them - it was like there was some sort of twisted contest going on

Regards
John P

James just back from asia 20 A/C seen - two Bearcats and 18 Skyraiders - going back next month to finish off.

Hi John,
Thanks for the comments on Stringbags. A great aircraft for W.W.I. OK for W.W.II. Still not sure why the Royal Navy decided not to use them in Korea. ;)

As regards items like the Blackburn Blackburn - lovely stuff. Bit rare though! And when it came to odd planes the French Multiplace du Combat of the 1930s were outright winners of the pre Stealth ugly awards...

Nor remember, bring back the planes this time John... :D

Glad everyone likes the issue(s) we need the feedback so keep it coming please!

Cheers

Hi James

Wotss yer exptad date of arrrivel here tin Oz?

I don't have much say in whats comming back but I think the Bearcats and some of the Spads will come here - Who knows he has the money - I just get to argue with the burecrats..

I have found two more Bearcats but they are said to be "rough" so we will see next month - a real adventure though and the "client" is a nice guy if a little shy!!!

I just looked up that french thing you mentioned - looks like two Baffins flew into a blender and came out joined together - backwards!! and it actually Flew? Mon Du

kindest regards
John P

My mailbox had my copy on SAT the 20th. Postmarked the 18th.

On page five I spotted my dad (blue shirt/tan shorts with backpack) in the TP-51C picture... then realized I should be close by and there are my skinny legs under the nose. Can just make out my green backpack! So... am I famous... again!?!?

Great issue, Tim, James K., Jim Church and all!!!
