  1. "Doc" has just flown after a 16 year restoration. There were the other 6 dwarfs, Snow White, and the Good Witch.

    2. Thanks to all here...

      I am astonished to my see (late) cousins bird, THUMPER.
      .he flew her, I think, on her 2nd tour.

      What he spoke of and the strike photos shown were ASTONISHING.

      His detailing of dropping naval sea mines off the coast of Malaysia were also inclusive of his gunners dueling with sampans were laden with 50 cal. dosings & 20mm.salutes.
      Cousins name was Capt.Sienkiewicz. (Dad's side)..

      God bless all,

      Brian
