Get a load of that Phil at the end of this video. But we couldn’t have done it without him - and our great team. Join us, in Kelowna or online!
We're luck to have such a diversely skilled, willing and generously helpful set of active supporters, or @avculturesconf.bsky.social couldn't do what we do. Here's a shout out to just a few of our key current supporters!
It’s great to collaborate with other amazing aviation people, and sometimes the titles some of us get might sound a bit grand, but in fact really reflect the dedication of amazing organisations and members. Thanks to them all for sharing and collaborating!
Did you hear the one when two Aussies and a Canadian walk into a Centre for Excellence?
It's going to be amazing at @avculturesconf.bsky.social and you can still join us and watch the engine run of the Mosquito! (Weather and tech allowing, of course...) aviationcultures.org/aviation-cul...
Personal circs have been v disruptive (as expected) for the two #BastilleBuild #HistScaleModels from me, but 'ta da'!
Here's show shots of the finished Bréguet 693 and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Bloch MB 174. More in a while, on the built and story, when I next get a chance. In the meantime, enjoy!
A bit of significant visual progress today on the two #BastilleBuild #HistScaleModels from me.
Bases! Wires!
It's all a lot out of order, but it'll all make sense / come together by the end. I'm sure. Certain.
Next, a spray of the undersides. (Masking not shown.)
And now, @dangerouscorner.bsky.social 's question: "Can you get any references from _Flight To Arras_ itself onto the model? Because that would be cool." is answered. (And 'Pilote de Guerre' is the original French title of the book about St-Ex's flying in the Battle of France in the Bloch MB 174.)
