We both did good, but SOMEONE got best A/C with his felixstowe!  :hmmm: 

 

I like the Mosquito. Is that someone from here?

Thanks! Yeah it was mine.   :)

A huge congratulations to Ernie for taking home an Eagle for best aircraft. It's much deserved!! I'm absolutely shocked the Mosquito only got a silver. I assumed it would be up against Ernies Felix for high gold. It certainly got my vote.

Wow, it really was well deserved! Congrats!

 

When I walked though earlier, the Felixstowe stood out.

I voted for the Mossie, followed closely by Tony's Corsair "Spirit of 76".

That RCAF Mossie was a true stunner, and Tony's bent wing Marine ride, both were just stunning.

I guess it was just the year of the monster biplane.

Honored. Thanks guys.

Yes, a big well done guys. I had the chance to talk to several people while there, my first Squadron event. I found one odd thing: I'd talk to guys, that built 1/48, and inquire as to whether they've considered 1/32. They all answered NO.

they are too big, no place to display them. I pointed out that my display case is 29x 24 inches, and seven feet tall.  So, you deal with a 29x24 footprint. Blank stare. One guy got even a bit testy, so I said: You'll get there when your eyes fail.

 That said, most every one was great to talk to, and some mates from California came out, and we had a chance to have a beverage, and tell some lies. I saw the Copper State Lanchester armored car, and it is very nice. There was a very well done diorama with the WNW Green tail Albies, with an old farm house, cars people, tools, dogs, everything you'd expect to see at a WWI maintenance/repair  base... out in the country.
