    Reading WWII Weekend Coming Up

    109e 3-4-5 near the Reading, PA airport.

    WELCOME TO THE MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II WEEKEND

    I go pretty often and it's a great show. Not sure yet if I'm going this year or not. Waiting on my daughters work schedule to be released. Probably will because they have two planes there for the first time this year, a Bf109 and a Mosquito. B-29 there also but it is becoming a more common visitor.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Always a great event. Not sure I'll make it this year after going out to Indianapolis but depends what others in the house want to do and how the weather is.

    When I go, I usually take close to 1000 photos, mostly of the flying airplanes. I should be able to post a few if I do go. Should know today whether my daughter has off work or not. I may go anyway because of the Bf109.

    Well, they updated the aircraft roster today and the Bf109 is off. Substituting a Spitfire instead. Disappointed. I've seen Spitfires before. Looks like I'll be going, daughter has off.

    Unfortunate about the 109. Bet you will enjoy none the less.

    Thumbs up

    I have always like the FW 190 better than the ME 109, but it was a 109 that I almost bought in 1958. Had just bought a new convertable 8 months before and could not borrow any more $$.
    It was a 109G10-U4, the purpose built high altitude interceptor and was a fast mother! Oh well the story of my life - About 4 or 5 months later I found a Fi 56 Fiesler Storch in derlict condition but the owner didn't want to sell it. He was just letting it set and go to hell.
    Got some photos around somewhere, but don't find them in this computer.
