G-ADAH is my contact with the rapide this is the oldest rapide in the UK and is preserved in the Museum of Science in Manchester. She was lovingly restored by Basil Carlin in the 1990's after he retired having spent a lifetime in aviation, he has since passed way. It was planned to fly but a sponsorship deal fell through with the demise of Dan Air Ltd who were the engineering partners. Good on you all for putting such a great aircraft back in the air.

It's about time for some big dreaming! Sure looks like a twin bodied Hercules. Hughes would be proud of the outline of the twin fuselages (hulls?). Go for it!! It's about time for some big dreaming!

Both Bill and Julie became friends. Bill was such a great man he took my son up in one of his MIGs and let him take the controls. Bill came back to me and told me that my son was a natural and needed to be a pilot. My son has been in the Air Force for almost 6 years, I still think that he will become a pilot at some point in his career. I have Bill and Julie to thank for their friendship and open hearts they should my son. I will always remember him as a great and generous man. Thank you so much.

He was an AF Maj, who changed Services and professions. He had 16 years of service, but not 16 as a Chaplain. Additionally, before you start feeling bad for the LT, you might want to read the public response his previous Superior wrote about the whole episode. After hearing the LT lie about his history and claims, the senior Chaplain set the record straight with a very frank explanation of the LT's history of poor performance and insubordination. His name was CAPT Holcomb. LT K is little more than a self-promoting fame hound, hardly a martyr, or man of God for that matter. Just as a point of correction, the LT was not a Chaplain for 16 years.

Daryl Rusert...I use only one "s" in the sir name. Edgar's plane was built 3 miles north of Lewiston, MN, at our homestead....the place where I was born. His son's name was Wayne and his wife's name was Ann. I still live less than a half mile from our homestead where the Pietenpol was built. My older brother, Lorenz (who is now 92 years old) helped Edgar glue some of the parts together for that plane. (Lorenz lives in Winona, MN.) Lorenz just told me yesterday that Edgar would check to see if the humidity was low enough so they could glue. He checked by pumping water from the handpump on the cistern to see if it would sweat. If the pump didn't sweat, he knew it was ok to glue that day. Just a note from Lewiston, MN.....I'm Edgar Russert's brother, Wm. Daryl Rusert...I use only one "s" in the sir name.

I know many good people that worked there! Classic example of "non-qualified" executive management running the company! It is very sad. I know many good people that worked there!
