King Tut
We went to see the King Tut exhibit yesterday at the Dallas Museum of Art. No photography allowed inside the exhibit. It was neat to see objects so old and well preserved. Put some of those artifacts in my house and they could be destroyed in less than a week.

Summer's End
A week or so ago Jilly posted a series of wonderful photos showing Summer's End in Menton, France.
Here is Summer's End in Terrell, Texas.
You might remember this spot from this picture that was posted back in May.
Tomorrow, Terrell will host a visitor from the UK. BKenton left a comment on a post I made back in July about #1 BFTS pilots. He is in the Dallas area for a wedding hopefully, if all goes well, he will visit Terrell tomorrow to tour the #1 BFTS Museum and Oakland Memorial Park.
If you would like to meet Mr. Kenton email me and I can get you the specifics. Terrelldailyphoto@hotmail.com
Museum officials are currently getting ready for October 17th & 18th. That is is the RAF in Texas Fly-In weekend. Check the link to the right for details. I will probably post more the Fly-In early next week.

Last photos from No.1 BFTS
Here are the last of the photos from the museum. If anyone is a WWII history buff, this is the place to visit. They are always looking for memorabilia, donations or volunteers.
The first photo is made up of three Rank Flags. Flags like the ones pictured were used at the school when an officer of the indicated rank was at the airfield.
The next photo is of the control tower radio. This was taken from the control tower of what was called the Kaufman County Airport, home to No.1 BFTS.
The last photo is of a 1:2000 scale model of the airfield from the early 1940s. The only structures still standing are the two large hangers on the right. Current airfield information can be found here.
