CONNIE EDWARDS at OSHKOSH

I've just got back from Oshkosh and I have to say the hi-light of my week at OSHKOSH was the opportunity to meet and talk to Mr. Connie Edwards of the Battle of Britain Movie and warbird fame.

As  you many know Mr. Edwards was hired to fly the Buchon 109's and other warbirds in the Battle of Britain movie. The assignment was expected to take 9 weeks turned into a 9 month excercise buy that time the movie was low on funds to pay Connie so he took a unch of the 109's and Spitfires in lieu of payment. Connie said it cost him $49,000 in shipping costs.

More on Connie Edwards to come, enjoy your summer!  cheers - ken
