    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    It's easy to see that it's a replica now that it's pointed out but at first glance just from a pic it wasn't so easy to pick out.

    The world gained another airworthy Bf109 only last month, when Mid West Aero in Danville, IL finished the long restoration to airworthy of Bf109G-6 Wr.Nr 410077 which had been recovered largely intact, from a freshwater lake in far north of Russiaicon way back in 1990, after crash landing on its frozen surface in early 1944 after being damaged by flak, when being operated by Stab IV/JG54.
    It made its first post restoration flight in the legendary hands of Steve Hinton a few weeks ago.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    Just when you thought I'd given up......Took the missus out to the Kittyhawk Cafe for lunch, just so happens it coincided with a Steam Train visit and a bus load of tourists.

    Lunch was great, so I took the time for a few happy snaps of the demo laid on for the masses.
    It was a blustery shower day, which limited the activeties, the main attraction sprung an oil leak mid demo, so that was it for that one.
    (typical yank tank reminds me of some breeds of motor bike)
    So after lunch it was left up to a Kittyhawk to finish the display, probably fitting considering the name of the place.

    The L-19/O-1 Bird Dog is close to my heart. It was the first plane I flew.

    Oil leak onto the exhaust, made a bloody mess on the shiny new floor.

    Yeah, I know you are getting bored with these.
    But considering the amount of activety on the forum, eye candy is better than nothing.

    Out at the Airport for lunch again, took a waltz thru the display to see what was new......so suffer.

    Please no apologies. I live on Long Island in New York which was known as the Cradle of Aviation. In the early days there were at least 20 aircraft manufacturers here plus their supporting industries. This is where Lindbergh, Earhart, Corrigan and a host of others left from on their record breaking flights. Going into WWII the Grumman Iron Works were the leading aircraft manufacturer here with many smaller ones making contributions as well. Fast forward to the early 1990's and it was all gone. All that's left now are a handful of part and component manufacturers and museums. So keep it coming because seeing this never becomes tiresome.
