Biggles1049, Fantastic, many thanks, I'll pass them on to her, I'm sure she will be chuffed.
Yamagata ken, the original airfield is active again with a number of light aircraft using one of the original runways, we are based on a grass strip on the old communal site just to the east of the main airfield.
Treadigraph, the history is, the aircraft crashed on 13th August 1944, the substantial remains went to a tachnical school in France and then on to a French collector who sold them to Maurice in 1999, the decision was taken to restore the aircraft late in 2003. As for whats next, yes I think a rest would be good.
