Schweet!




Interesting question of ownership. They'll be worth a few coins by
the time they hit the market.

Cheers, H.


At this rate, the skies will soon be filled with Spitfires!


I really wonder at what kinds of corrosion may be there, despite the
pickling efforts taken when they were buried. Ground water and soil
acidity play a major role here.
