Blinkin Christmas Deer…

A job I am glad is over:








Now I can get back to making the stand for my Mill with a few brownie points in the bank.

Forgive me, but my eyes went uncontrollably right past the Deer LED's & curious cat (LOL) - what's the story with the Hurricane in the green picture frame? Looks like some factory pics or restoration experience maybe?

When I first visited Canada in 1991/92 I contacted Canada’s Aviation and Space Museum and they sent me photocopies off the index for all the Hurricane pictures they had. I loved the official photos Canadian Car and Foundry took of building the Hurricane, very detailed.

I ordered one in 10”x12” and the ones in the image above. I wanted something to do with them so decided to make up a shadow box with a couple of model planes. I’m thinking of one day remaking the models, perhaps…

You can now see all these images online in reduced resolution:
