Meeting Matters
|
||||
|
||||
|
President Rex McCoy presented former President Tony Bunch with a print of "Star of India in the fog", a painting by Richard Derossett. | |||
| David Weeks presented the information that he has gathered from his extensive research to make the most accurate F-4 U Corsair model. This is an extremely elaborate presentation that compares details that vary from model to model. Because of the variety of subtle designs and the limited number of available replacement parts, David's assessment of restoration works is that museum Corsairs might have a mix of parts that makes them inaccurate for any particular version of the aircraft. |  |
