| New here..........Hullo..... Hi All, Thought I'd introduce myself as well. I'm Chris (Goofy), 36, originally Dutch, but live in Lincolnshire (Bomber County) England these days, a stone-throw away from the old RAF Waltham airfield. My main interest is WW2 RAF memorabilia that I have been collecting for quite a while. I am currently building a Lancaster Navigators compartment. For a living I fly for a Dutch Airline, on the A330 these days (lovely aircraft...does tend to lose its tail now and then....).. Attached some pictures of my collection...and a pic of the equipment that will go into the Lanc Nav project....       Lanc Nav material...  |

| Hi Chris, and welcome form 'up North'! One heck of a collection you have there. The only bits I have are a Lanc bomb selector panel, and a piece of timber from the floor of the JU88, now being restored by Guttorm, one of the members in Norway.

| Very nice collection. I have a rather nice collection as well, but I specialize in German uniforms and artifacts(and not just Luftwaffe, but all branches). As soon as my house is built, I want to have a room similar for displaying my collection.
