pfrost Posted September 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2009 A perfectly nice WWII vintage Balfour wing. I suspect either a bombardier or gunner wing. :pinch: Still, got it pretty cheap for what it was. Maybe one day, I'll find a missing bomb or gunner device and can have it replaced. At least you can see what these type of wings look like and how they were made. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted September 30, 2009 This is what it likely looked like when it started out its life. Of this.... sigh....but you got to take them the way you find them, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted October 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2009 Patrick you know me too well... this is almost as bad as the Balfour CP wing that was used as a BB gun target if you recall that one. I wonder why someone would have removed the center device in the first place? Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted October 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2009 It is interesting to see what is behind the two piece wings. Thanks! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to make a long story short,and not meaning to hijack this mans post, we put my friends "grandpa's helmet" on a post and seperated the pieces,cuz we just diddnt believe Cardboard-ish paper could stop a bullet. Shot it with bbs,.22,and .410 :crying: We were just kids,and it was just a crappy old helmet/liner. Anybody wants to go into the woods (if there are any left-its been about 30 years now) in PA behind playwikki park,whats left is probably still there :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
