Tim, Gavin et al,
You reminded me of a nagging question which came up years ago and has yet to be
resolved: where did the repro Horsa's from ABTF end up? Those surely would make
for a great static display!
2nd question: while I've heard of at least one Waco (at least used-to-be) flying
in the States, has anyone to your knowledge ever flown a Horsa or Hamilcar since
the war? Are there any originals in existence? Hmmm... now THERE'S a display...
Hamilcar with Universal carrier & 6 pdr AT gun... hmmm...
I'd ride in one - once - just to say I'd done it... :-)
