Arguably the granddaddy of all runs:
I used to have the two in the middle below. Really liked the original 1, 2, & 3 dragons, but was not a big fan of the 25th (except for Brett’s one-off that I was told would never be made, but that’s another story. I think Veinbuster had it for awhile).
In case (pun intended) anyone’s interested, the background panels are quilted sepele.

WOW WOW WOWIt was its turn on the threadmill and I decided to take some shots. Such a spectacular yet sleeper run - the Experience 2013 Private Stock Custom 22.

That 25th is an interesting story. I met it at the factory and took it home with me. About the same time a moment of weakness made a certain prototype available.

But is was made for Brett and he always owned it, right? Stunning top and colour (did I spell that right?
) on that one. Post a pic, please.

Also it’s pronounced “al-u-min-ium”,”sol-der” and “o-reg-ano”!

My dad was on a bomber in WW2 stationed in England. He came home and forever got a kick out of pronouncing it that way. Thanks for the memory.

Do you know whereabouts in England he was based?

My thoughts too - somewhere in Norfolk or Lincolnshire as a guess. If you know the staion(s) let us know.

I may be able to find out. My brother recorded a DVD of my dad's memories including the war. I'm pretty sure he was a belly gunner on a B26.

It's not B26 but it is called Thumper (see nose art) and your dad would have seen lots of them. The RAF's BBMF Lancaster a few years ago.

On the SC dragon, any idea what material did they use for the teeth and the black boundaries at the gumlines? Just curious.Arguably the granddaddy of all runs:

Shawn told me they’re genuine dragon teeth.
