Message-ID: <001601bfbbff$6718db00$20e8b094@sandyada> On the subject of raf wires, any thoughts as to whether or not the F.E.2b might have had them? If the B.E.2c did in 1915, I think it possible. The photos in the DF are inconclusive, though I am sure it would have been cable in the "birdcage" aft fuselage. The Official Rigging Notes for the FE2b does not have a table of RAF wires attached so it is not possible (on this evidence) to say that the Fee definitely did have them. Notes for most aircraft have RAF Wire tables (where fitted) with dimensions, quantities and Index letters. However there is at least one glaring ommission in the Sopwith F1 Camel which has no RAF Wire table in these Notes (although the 2F1 does!) - and we know the F1 definitely had them too. The Vickers FB9 has the tables and also used RAF Wires for the tailboom bracing so I'd assume the same for the Fee.

Its set to be scrapped... I know this is off topic, but its historical military aviation related, and I think this is important! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Friends of the Iron Woman, Our endeavor to save the Iron Woman as a memorial/museum/education center continues. In less than four months we have established our foundation, articulated a vision for our project, enlisted the support of former presidents George Bush and Gerald Ford and developed capital and media campaigns to gain resources and educate the public about her historical significance. Currently, we are seeking a development grant (or grants), and soliciting individual contributions, to allow us to negotiate an option to purchase the ship for a specified time while we continue to develop our capital campaign, search for a venue, conduct a marine survey on the ship and develop our business plan. But we must hurry, we need to secure an option on the ship by the end of May to prevent the commencement of her demolition. The salvage company who owns her has graciously postponed her scrapping for the last few months but is reaching the limit of their ability to do so. We must help them by securing an option to purchase the ship while we continue our development work. We Need Your Contributions -- NOW! Over the last several weeks we have been contacted by many folks who wish to make a contribution to the effort to save the Iron Woman. Until now, we have been reluctant to accept donations because we didn't have the personnel to appropriately respond to donors, and we didn't believe it was appropriate to ask for individual donations until we thought we had a reasonable chance of success. We now believe that we have that chance. At this point we are confident that we will be able to get some major gifts that will make this project possible. Also, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has established an account for us at their organization. Contributions can now be made to the Iron Woman Foundation through the National Trust (see address below). This is a major breakthrough for the IWF because contributions for our project can now be made to the premier historic preservation organization in America. We are grateful to the National Trust and proud of the trust they have in our organization. They have provided guidance and support to the IWF from the beginning of our efforts. Watch for Iron Woman Story and President Ford Interview on ABC affiliates: By the way, in addition to the Washington Post and Washington Times articles, and the Scripps-Howard News Service article (sent to 400 newspapers), that have appeared recently, Jim Clarke of WJLA, the ABC television affiliate in DC, has produced a television news story about our effort to save the Cabot. It features an interview with former President Gerald Ford about his service aboard the Cabot's sister ship, the USS Monterey. The story is scheduled to air in DC on the 11 PM news, Thursday May 11. It will then be sent out over ABC's News One system to local ABC affiliates all over the country. Call your local ABC affiliate and ask them to run it when they receive it this next weekend. CBS News has also contacted us about doing a story on the Iron Woman for Memorial Day on either Dan Rather's Evening News or Charles Osgood's Sunday Morning. We will let you know more as that story progresses. Please check our website at www.ironwoman.org for updates on these stories and other matters. Where to Send Your Contributions: Well, that's it for now. Please send your contributions to: National Trust for Historic Preservation 1785 Massachusetts Ave. NW Washington, DC 20036 ATTN: Paul Edmundson, General Counsel Make your check payable to: National Trust for Historic Preservation On the memo line write: USS Cabot account With your contribution you become part of the Iron Woman Family. We are endeavoring to create a consortium of citizens and organizations to help save the Iron Woman for posterity at an appropriate venue as a memorial/museum/education center.

As someone very new to detailed scale modeling in WWI aircraft, this sites is a powerhouse of help. I do recognize the plane colors that Shane and others mentioned, Red & Blue with the White winged Sword, but as knowing who flew it, I had no idea until now. I am collecting my reference material as I go along as this is often more than the models and then with all the extras there's only so much a man with two sets of college loans to pay off at the same time can do. And as Dave Z said, this was one real Iron man, he flew when he was badly injured and would spend hours after a flight picking bone fragments from his raw flesh with tweezers as they worked their way to the surface, all with only one good arm. I would also like to join the Albatros Build Matt, I will be doing Bertholds aircraft the Albatros D.III that you mentioned in your email. I will get the book this week then start my search for markings and colors and then check out which Eduard D.III kit will work best for me. Oh yes, Dale I would love to see those profiles, if their anything like the last batch you sent me, I'll be tickled pink. Again people thanks very much, you have all been very helpful this new guy.

Message-ID: And Calvin even played/built models. Anyone willing to share drawings or plans of the Mercedes DIII? I have pictures from the web that Ernest took and the picture from the in action book and Bob's profile, any others?

OH WAIT, that's OK in this class! :-) So, I guess I write to the nice man and ask for a catalogue? Pamphlet? Whatever? Do you know what he asks for remuneration for same? Does he have cool stuff? Can you tell I've never used anything but out- of-the-box decals? :-) Oh -- and Allan, forgive me, but here's a teensy off-topic thingie: if anyone would like to see pix from my ordination, a friend put up his shots: http://www.oaks.yoyodyne.com/sharon/ I'm the chunky redhead being ordained. ;-) The sweet-faced teenager in the striped jersey, doing a reading and looking serious, is my wonderful son Brian -- who is working on an off-topic flying gasbag model. :-) Cheers, Sharon > A/G is Americal Gryphon >4373 Varsity Lane, >Houston, >Texas 77004 > >They don't have a net presence btw. > >Ray ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2335 **********************
