Thanks and welcome, but the page says "This album is Private" and no photos can be seen. :(

And nice to see - some great stuff there - though the scale Mosquito replica leaves me cold.

Regards,

What?! That replica Mosquito is a work of art! Ive always loved the quirkiness involved with some of these scaled down replicas.

As far as I saw this replica performed a nice demo flight, well even if it's the original machine that fly in the southern hemisphere

I can see it, and scale replicas are great if you like them, and I'm sure fun to fly. But they, by definition are copies of something else, and compromised. Like kitcars of Lamboghinis and Shelby Cobras, they're by definition pale imitations. But that's just my personal opinion, and doesn't mean I'm right for anyone else.

Lots of other nice machinery there!

Regards,

Sadly the Museum was hit by the hail just one day after the meeting.

Block of ice of the size of tennis balls damaged the hangars roof, and some planes where heavely hit.
The sum of damages looks to be extensive and expensive.
