Seeing as so many old photos get posted these days, does anyone have one of the CAF P-40 while owned by Mike Dillon? Apparently it was all red at the time!

It was on the cover of air Progress back in the late 60s early 70s with a full story and photos by Mike Dillion when he was associated with them before of course he became interested in machine guns and made his fortune inventing progressive reloaders. I'll look for the issue.

Actually that rendition is very accurate. I have, somewhere, the issues of Air Progress that had the story of Mike Dillon. It was a three part story. Very interesting.

No. I did it some years ago for a web site I used to have. It has been down for some years, but it is nice to see my old profiles pop up on the web now and then. Generally without credit, but that's okay.
