Stefan Legat is a collector/dealer in Austria. He and I have never met, but have done business together in the past. I was so close to his place that I had to stop and say hello. He and his wife were very gracious to allow us to visit them on their day off and show […]
Everyone has a bucket list. The trip to Obersalzberg was on mine. So while on vacation in Austria and the Czech Republic I knew I wanted to slip over the border from Salzburg into Germany to see the Eagle’s Nest. I encourage everyone to go. If you only get to one place, Salzburg and Obersalzberg […]
Just outside of Vienna is the business called Camo. Guenter Ctortnik is the owner whom I have known for a long time. It was good to see him again, this time in his country. Around the first bend. Parts strewn about. He ran out of shelf space. NOS pedestal lights for the 1/2 track. A […]

Our group of Military Collector friends in the area have always talked about hosting a 1942-style Hangar Dance. With Mike & Pam’s wedding, we finally had a good reason.
Arromanches My wife and I went to France with friends of ours–three other couples who are also MV collectors and WWII history buffs. We stayed nine days in the Normandy area, where we saw the World War II sites and museums, and then we went on to Giverny and Paris for a few days before […]
Mahalo, (Thank you), to Mark & Barbara and Rick & Angie, and everyone else for the warm welcome I received while on Oahu. Thanks to all who brought food to the party, the local ethnic food at the event was delicious. It was nice to finally meet all my new friends and fellow MV collectors […]
