Check out the sub-folders...

James Fahey's Photobucket (Jamo_kiwi) account, which he has kindly left unlocked so all can view.

James has taken a lot of excellent photos of The Vintage Aviators WW1 machines that are base at Hood Aerodrome, in Masterton New Zealand. This should give you great idea how some of the machines weathered and wore.

Yes, I knew the pictures of it from the "Vintage Aviator" website, and also the video.

But those album pics of Jamo_kiwi's photobucket site are new to me, and they show so many details - just great!

Now say, everybody: is she a beauty?

 

Thanks a lot, elephant! I must dive back into the pics!
