WWII Weekend 2018

2018 WWII Weekend in Reading, PA was a huge success. We all had lots of fun and our display was bigger and better than last year.

The 496th Air Service Squadron Headquarters (AAFCG)


 We had a great selection of WWII aircraft parts. Tim restored two 55 gallon drums to use for work tables and brought his 1945 Ben Hur trailer (in the background behind Don's head).



We had some new electronic units including two frequency testers.



John and Tim busy at work.


Here's Ed riding Don's Compax bicycle and Atena on her "Victory Gal".


Here's the group L-R Atena de Jong, Don Reed, Ed de Jong, John Rupple, and Tim Shanteler with 
very special old friends Paula Sheehan and Jim Vocell.


Here's Don proudly wearing his WWII repro overcoat standing next
to our new sign.

The officer's desk and Tim's new (old) typewriter.
