Nice shots Phil,

It was a great privilege to have known Harold, Verna and Alan, and my visits to Narellan were always enjoyable times when good company, laughter and stories were shared.

I guess you're referring to the Mosquito in the third pic? Harold did great work on what was a wreck. Last time I was there, he was showing me some of the intricacies of the timber work.

Funny thing is, a quite a few of those machines are rarities these days, especially in the condition they're in.

Anyway, thanks for drawing our attention to the efforts which are being undertaken to continue the Thomas family legacy.

Cheers,
Matt

You've prompted me to share some pics taken in 1993. I had more hair and weight then...

That Vultee Vengeance is incredible! Is that all original WWII paint on her?
