PEMBROKE AIRCRAFT XF799.
John VK6AU 4123 would like some input on XF799 Pembroke Aircraft which is
now at Watkins Hanger Colorado (KFTG) which arrived there about 10 years
ago and it is hoped to make it into a flier again. The aircraft was famous
for its flights through the Berlin Air Corridors. If anyone has knowledge
