Someone ripped off a beautiful WWI aircraft engine at one of our shows a few
years back. I think it had been brought across the pond from GB just for the
show. I don't know if they ever caught that bastard, but I bet they will
find the perp that stole the traction engine somewhere near the old
gentleman's shop. For some reason our show promoters don't seem to have the
brains to use a steel cable woven about and through each model engine as you
do in Jolly Olde England.. 'Course that wouldn't have helped the old gent's
traction engine in his own shop.
Oh, I have plenty of ammo for the Garand, but I don't intend to miss on the
first shot. When I was in Uncles army back in 1951-53, I found that the
Garand would hit whatever I told it to do.
