Once upon a time in the west, lot-1 10/92 Gordon

Much as I have said I am not a fan of museums. it seems that if I am in the area it would be rude to at least look in. My wife and I took this trip in 1992 and took in Santa Monica. Gordon.

Oh Yes!!!. Lovely!!. Didn't do too much in California in my younger days, so lovely to see these. Nice to see that the Americans actually have some British types in museums. Not something that they are particularly noted for.........Please keep these lovely memories coming. Regards, John. :clap:

Thanks for sharing these and I remember that Spitfire and Sea Fury from years back when they were based in the UK. But the Percival Prentice is a bit of a rarity, especially in the US. Some nice shots here and some nice machines too.

For the curious, the yellow high wing is a 'Howard DGA', the DGA apparently stood for 'Damned good airplane'! Nice to see the 'Super Dak in the background. Well cowled engines, big spinners etc.
