Bob, too bad you are so far away...you would enjoy Cole Palens World War 1 Aerodrome,,about a 20 minute walk down the back road from me. It was better 30 years ago when Cole was alive, he was the chief cook and bottlewasher..playing the villan in the Red Barons plane...his wife sold out and its more commercial now.
