You're Top Poster: #2   | Beaufighter from the inside! This is the Beau in Moorabbin, Victoria. They used to run her up on regular occasions when she was displayed outside. Pretty complete inside. http://www.aarg.com.au/beaufighter.htm

You're Top Poster: #3 | Thanks Andy. I drive past there sometimes but never get the chance to call in.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #2 | I'm the same Geoff. Have been to Melbourne every Christmas since 04 and usually in July as well (not this year) and still haven't found the time to drop in. Only other Beau I've seen is the one being restored in Duxford (oh and the Hendon one) and that's a lovely forest green...:-)
