John stopped by the Military Air Museum in Pungo, Virginia, the other day. There he found this nicely restored Ford GP. I asked him how he liked the museum. HIs response was,
“Dave, The whole facility is extraordinary! Two surprises, 1) a hanger from Cottbus, Germany, was found intact but damaged. The guy bought it, had it disassembled, shipped to the states and restored and reassembled. Every thing inside is German with one Italian with some of the stuff experimental.
2) Same for a British control tower, every brick was shipped here, rebuilt, and what was broken or missing was replaced from Britain, not the States.“

Looks good and frankly I’d like to see more GP’s, BRC’s and MA’s but scarcity reigns with these.
WHY DID THE NAZIS HAVE ALL THE COOL WEAPONS ?? — YOU HAVE TO ADMIT , THEY HAD SOME REALLY COOL STUFF ??? — LUGERS , DAGGERS , JETS , WALTHERS , GERMAN HELMETS , SWASTIKAS , FRAULEINS , SCHWIMMERWAGENS — YOU NAME IT , THEY HAD IT …
The Frauleins were my favorite weapons …. 🙂
Really….swastikas are cool???? NOT…and it’s Schwimmwagen, not schwimmERwagen.
