From Ken Ramsay:

: The back end of the H-19 is coming together. Lots of work on the English wheel.

: The F-102 was moved outside canopyless. Looks great in the sun.

: The canopy is on the way.

: It fits.

: Looks much better this way.

: I mentioned last week that I had difficulty in fitting the rudder fairing to the F-105’s aft fuselage. Well, I walked out to the F-105 and there in the fuselage was another fairing. A trial fit showed that it was the one that came from our aircraft. Why we have two is a mystery. I took the fairing home and repaired the damage to the aft end.

: A study of Blue and Yellow.

: The H-19’s instrument panel is just about complete. Great job by Bill.

Built a radio set to get started on a Paraset radio used by the underground in Germany during WWII for the display case. Parts donations are welcome. I used the Paraset schematic to build my version of the radio in the olive drab box.

The video I combined Morse code in the background with the slide pictures of the radio building and radio display area in the hangar.
