By the time you receive this message the problem will have been resolved. Sorry for the downtime. On an upside, Kevin Barrett sent me a ton more photos from the Rockcliffe Museum, which are now on the webpage. -Allan =============================================================================== Allan Wright Jr. | You fell victim to one of the 'classic' blunders!

Picked up the Squadron "Aces" pictorial...(kind of weird illustrations in places) and was reminded that MvR flew a Halberstadt D.II for a period of time. Standard markings, I assume. Don't have one..... I have enough DML Dr.1s (if that is possible...) But I still need a couple more 1/48th DVIIs...Have a candystripe in the works, but need that BMW powered all lozenge bird in the lineup... Udet also flew many post war aircraft....curtis hawk, Heinkel He100, an all red 109thingie.... I still have some WWI trading material available, plus my off topic lists...

I wanted to do a silver dope finish. Is everything usable, or should I look for replacement Scarfe ring or whatever? >> The kit provides decals for D-8084, the Shuttleworth Trust's airplane, in silver dope finish, like when it was in Iraq in the 20s. Everything else is as useable as one generally finds with an Aeroclub kit - they have become the definition of quality scarff rings.

This concoction is still readily available as a large sausage in this country - I don't think its exclusively Scots in origin though - it's a speciality in Lancashire. Called Blood Pudding there and Black Pudding here; it is dipped in batter and fried and sold in fish&chip shops everywhere. PS Paris was great, didn't get to Le Bourget but managed to surface out of the Metro right outside one of the Eol' shops (thank you, guys). Impressive stock but not too much WWI stuff.

If > there is anything you are looking for, let me know. I hate you. ;-) Unless you'd like to part with volumes 1-4 ? BIG OLD --> ;-) Unfortunately Windsock never penetrated as far as the antipodes until volume 5, or at least it never appeared in any of the specialist bookshops that I frequent before that time. Even then the supply was infrequent and (ever cautious) I wasn't willing to risk subscribing to a magazine which might disappear leaving me out of pocket. The consequence was my having numerous gaps in vols 5, 6, and 7. Afterwards supply became reliable, so I have the lot. Over the last few years I have slowly filled gaps, but issues earlier that V5#2 are virtually impossible to find here. One day..... Thanks for the offer of assistance BTW. I'll keep it in mind !

Dennis may or may not be pleased to know that his rendition is of a real machine supported by photographic evidence. *I* am ecstatic, because in the event I ever get hold of the BM or (upcoming) Eduard, I actually *can* make it like that. A couple of questions remain. Profile has it that the machine is from Feld Flieger Abteilung 5b, while P.A-M's magazine caption says Feld Flieger Abteilung 292. The latter sounds wrong to me but one of the more historically inclined members might be able to further inform me. Also, the pattern on the photo is less regular and more curvaceous than the Profile. I suppose this might mean two *different* aircraft *or* that the original profile is a simplification of the real aircraft for the convenience of the artist - but which ! For those with the Datafile, the photo P.A-M showed is not the same as the crash photo with the outline scales seen in that volume, being *much* more like the Datafiles famous depiction. Phillip - does the AEQ article give a source for the photo? Or failing that, who is the author of the article, this may give a clue to the whereabouts of the original?

I find myself in the silly position of answering myself. I should have added that the photo has *no* eye and mouth marking, and the scales extend all the way to the tail. Again, this may mean different aircraft, or the same one prior to the application of the mouth (though it leaves me wondering why the scales disappear from the tail? ) Another lovely mystery. I think I'll keep looking, though the photo does give me a neat choice of scheme of the type I wanted Shane ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 13:51:28 -0800 From: Bob Pearson To: WW1 Mailing list Subject: Re: FW: a Roland with scales & RE: Roland D.II (source of scheme) Message-ID: <199902242151.NAA06287@spare.rapidnet.net> Shane writes . . > A couple of questions remain.

PA-M has told me off line that the article is by Peter Grosz and Dan-San Abbot; there are few if any better authorities. I presume then that the original photo is in one or the others collection. Given that the unit is the same we can perhaps now wonder whether the aircraft is 1. Same one, misinterpreted 2. Same one, prior to changes 3. Different aircraft (was there a fashion for scales in FFA 292b ?) Cool. The next question might be to Peter Grosz to determine if he has the photo and knows the name of the guys in it - to see if they match Profiles caption. Interesting.

Check the recent archives - we just went through this one. Scans will go direct, as long as there is not going to be any duplication. I'll send the Spanish drawings, Pedro the photo's, Dave V whatever's left. How does that sound?

You probably know this, but just for the sake of clarity, the SE5 was the precursor of the 5a (only a small number built), with greater wingspan, raked wingtips, gravity tank on upper wing, geared 150hp(?) Hisso w/ valve cover fairings and short forward-exausting manifolds. If you have drawings of the 5, I can use 'em Riordan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 03:24:53 GMT From: lfendy@firstsaga.com (Leonard Endy) To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Elliot White Springs Message-ID: <36d8c100.6211201@legend.firstsaga.com> Although I have not read anything about this guy I did hear an amusing story on the radio this morning about him. Apparently he was the heir to his father's textile factories, "Springmaid" linens to be exact. Well during the fifties he came up with some advertising that was considered pretty risque for the time. One magazine ad showed and Inidan maiden, in her loincloth, reclining on some Springmaid sheets. The caption read: "One buck well spent on white sheets." Not a bad little story and thought I would share it with the list.
