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!
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!
