I hope you're good at penetrating sophisticated defenses... Razor wire, mines, angry snakes, redbacks, vicious dogs, camouflaged pits with sharpened stakes, flamethrowers, poison gas and a powerful force field will take care of the assets while I'm away. Then there is the constant overhead patrols with Bird Dogs armed with Willy Petes to mark you... followed up by a squadron of A37s with miniguns and napalm. Then there is the team of SAS armed to the teeth on guard. I'll also rig high voltage protection to not only the vehicles but any parts... so beware!

Keith,

As I said on the phone have a good trip.

It occurred to me that I might use the MLU mob to help with my trip as well.

I am leaving Brisbane on Monday morning for UK. Will be there about a week before going to Halifax Nova Scotia to pick up an old Beech 18 aircraft to fly across the Atlantic to UK. Bev and I will be in UK until early September looking after the plane and going to various events around Europe.

My mission this coming week is to find a hangar for the aircraft, preferably west or south of London, on a permanent basis. Do any of you Poms know of or have a contact for a hole in a hangar on one of the numerous west and south airfields. Cost is not a problem and the owner will happily pay whatever the going rate is.

We will have plenty of time off and should get to meet up with lots of you at various military vehicle meets during the summer. We will find somewhere to live in the area the aircraft finishes up.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Lang

And I was expecting to see something with tracks weighing around 4 tons!

You fell for what you thought was the only serious lead in this whole thread.

Some other truths: Charleston is a dance for flappers, and Charlotte is NOT the Air Hostess's name!

It's only fair that ALL members of the family have a holiday. If we work out a roster of Driver's, the FGT could do a lap of the country in 3 weeks.
