Yeah, no kidding Tom.
This has been a pretty long road as far as restorations go.
Congrats to the team at Westpac on the milestone :drink3:

It has been a great one to follow over the last few years on Facebook, and especially over the last several months as it became the central focus at Westpac. For those that don't do Facebook, here are a few photos recently posted by Westpac showing the cockpit of "White 33" as it has been progressing - accuracy/authenticity all the way:

Wow! She looks factory fresh!

About how much of the original remains have been used in this resto?

Is that Alan Wojciak running her?

Best b'day present one could ask for.

All the Best Alan.
