    Time for a trip to the Aviation Museum. They have received a new plane at the Fighter Factory! Something for the WW1 hanger!

    What are they using to power it? And I see that the Fighter Factory has a rodent control system installed

    That looks really spiffing!
    Any idea who made it?

    You are referring to Miss Spitfire. I cannot say she is the longest serving staff member of the FF. But she was the chief aircraft inspector on my first visit to the FF in 2003! She has a new assistant by the name of Jenny!

    A very nifty addition to the collection Rich, and already had its cat scan I see.

    It's so great to have someone close to a site like this who takes pictures and shares them with others Thanks a bunch, Rich!

    Seeing a flying Eindecker will be a treat - as will seeing all the WWI planes they put up.

    All the best,

    She was built in Germany in the 70`s using a Ranger engine. It was on display in one of the UK`s service museums. They now have a brand new build from NZ on display in the UK.
    They cranked up the engine after 25 years in the spring. First step in getting in the air!

    I am waiting to see it fly myself! Maybe someday one of the new NZ builds will come your way. If not the WW1 airshow is October 3and 4th!

    Keep October 3rd and 4th in mind. That is the WW1 airshow at the museum. A great weekend of planes, reenactors and live entertainment.
