While scanning through the pages of photos today, I ran across a survivor in today's world. This is the A-26 in Australia that Randall McFarland (a forum member) owned for awhile. She has now moved on to a new owner in Australia.

Mark......

1st....a HUGE tks for all the work and effort you did here......

I do not post as often as I used to but the amount of time you put in for our enjoyment and education is REALLY appreciated.

All the threads you post are interesting and of great value for the community.

How can I say it......In French!!!!!! Merci du plus profond de ma passion et de mon coeur.

Plz do not loose your passion and keep at it.....It does make my ruff evening times these days glorious.

Some of my favorites from this thread.

BTW...the pics with people really bring out a point in time particular aspect to the era.....

I used to only look at pics of planes without humans clutter around them.

But some of those you posted really bring out the real life situation our great warriors (for a fact all of them ) went through.

Tks again.

Michel

Be patient, it's only a matter of time. I collect them like people collect stamps.
We could chat Madras Maiden again, that would surely speed up the paperwork.

Mark,

Any idea when you will have the Coast Guard thread ready? I have some old Ten Pound Island pics of aircraft I have located...those are few and far between (rare) as that was a 1920's air station (the first one).

Mucho Gracias.....John
