Carrier on Milweb

[ian sw]

Hi Guys,
I have not posted hear before, but have been watching from the sidelines, waiting to pounce on a restoration project.

Just felt i had to comment on this, I fully agree with you Martyn, prices are very hi at the moment, and i'm sure they will keep rising (but you have just blow the argumment " that they are not making any more" out of the water.)

I have tried to buy many carriers over the last few years but all have been out of my reach (i does appear to be a closed shop). The work you have carried out on the new hull looks great, i hate to think how many hours you have spent. I just wish i had the funds spare. there will always be the individuals who do not appericiate (spelling?) the amount of work that goes into such a restoration, as in war bird restorations many have totaly new airframes etc.

We are all entitled to our own views, but do not be put off by a few negative comments. one day i would like to be able have you build me a carrier (but dont hold your breath at the moment, lack of funds).

Does anybody know exactly how many carriers are left in the world ???
