HISTORY (© 2010 David Eyre):
This BD-5 has completed a very slow rebuild and restoration since 2004. It is dedicated to Daniel Florusse, a member of the Museum's Youth Club - his name is painted on the side. The rebuild was paid for by a $7,000 donation in Daniel's memory by his parents. Some parts (including the nosewheel) are non-original. |
