    Thank mate and ive got more to add here soon as Keith works her magical fingers on correcting images for me ;-)) Im about to mail her 4-5 more photo CDs to get posted to photo bucket and I think will start in about 10 or so days ;-)) Then after these are done? im planning on getting the rest of my WWII images to CD then will send that off to her to add to photo bucket and ill post them here. I have a few good tech photos too and about 11 that will be recognizable and I bought them only because they are good teaching aides and all are repo pics.
