That was all the MvR bits they currently have on display. I'll keep an eye out for them and ask the staff about them. They have a huge collection and unfortunately only a limited amount of space for displays.
Cheers
Peter

It is nothing sinister, it is just the seam of the boot.

Thats before the intellectual vandal Gower started to run the place.

Again thanks for the great photos,
Phil

Phil,

The crosses are not on display one was damaged quite a few years back when paint was spilt on it when a volunteer was repainting it!!!!!!

G'day All

More important than MvR's stuff, is that Robert Little's medal collection is back on display in the same cabinet along with Harry Cobby's medal collection.

The planes in the Treloar Centre are looking a bit sad., but they are on the list to be worked on. Here are some pics I took a 2 years back. Here's 3 of the Pflaz DXII to begin with.

Hello
Really helpful people there. Im starting on a project of building some Le Rhone replicas and the freedoms to closely inspect is suprising.
The Le Rhones are 80 and 110 hp. They have a 9 cylinder 110 hp 9JA built under licence in the US.
