Yep, we've got two more to do yet but they are much larger than this site is & cover a number of acres. We are opening another up next month once we have cleared the four tons we already have off the trailer. I am now offering this stuff to museums & the remaining is going to auction/sale to fund our next expedition.

B-17 nacelle sections with exhaust to supercharger...we have lots of these. Nearly all of it is stainless steel which needs the concretion removing with hydrchloric acid, once the acid has dissolved the scale then they come up like new & will polish to a mirror finish with Autosol.

It certainly does - here's one fitted to a model F-1A refueller for comparison. Last time I looked it was about 17" diameter......

I was planning to introduce myself, but it's all just too exciting on here at the moment for that!!!

Cheers,
Tony
