I never did get Jenny out of her jig today as I got side tracked and built a wheeled towbar instead.There was a nice pic of a German towbar from WW1 in a book that I was reading, and it looked like it wouldnt be hard to build, so I took the spare set of Jenny spoked wheels that I had and made my own version.From what I have seen, in my research, these towbars would be made from materials that could be laying around any hangars scrap yard.They were of no particular design and varied a lot from place to place.Tomorrow I will paint and weathered it and then maybe finally get Jenny on her gear.
