Default A good start to my day:

Received this morning:

Dear Ken,

I am contacting you from the Sunday Express newspaper in the UK, we are a
weekly, national newspaper with a circulation of a million.

I have seen your picture of the replica Lancaster Bomber at Hood aerodrome
in Masterton New Zealand and I am hoping to use it in this coming Sunday's
paper to illustrate an article on the forthcoming re-make of the Dambusters
film.

I would be grateful if you could send me a high res of the image in question
and also any others that you may have. Obviously we will pay a repro fee
for such use.


May I say that looking through your pictures on the internet has been a real
pleasure.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Every good wish,

Jane

The Guy that produced and directed the "Lord Of The Rings" movie trilogy, and"King Kong", New Zealander, Peter Jackson, is filming a remake of "The Dambusters" and here in Masterton,my home town a full scale model of a Lancaster Bomber has been made-I had to photgraph it from a quarter mile away,because securiy at the aerodrome only admitted film crew.
