The Dremel tool went to work yesterday and here are the results. There was a great deal of plastic to be removed but the results are pleasing. It will never see the light of day again, but it is there. I hope to have the interior finished and closed up by this week end.
The decals for the logenze proved to be almost too old. I will have to see if I can save them.
Also, my compressor died yesterday. You would think things could last more that 20 years. That may slow me down a little.

On Friday the 12th, recently promoted 2nd Lieutenant Georges Guynemer was on hand as standard bearer for the 1st flag of French military aeronautics during a ceremony on the field of the aérodrome that would later bear his name. Base aérienne 102 Dijon became operational in the spring of 1914 and was assigned the headquarters of the 1st Aviation Group, which was accommodated in several aircraft hangars and barracks. Four squadrons were stationed there when the World War broke out: the BR 17, BL 18, HF 19 and MF 20. It was on this military airfield that the 2e reserve aviation unit dedicated to the centralization of deliveries made by factories working for the aviation and transit to aviation squadrons of the parks from the front of the stored goods.[clarification needed] 2Y also worked, from 1917, a flight school dedicated to piloting aircraft manufacturing company Voisin[/color] (via wikipedia). Just over 260km southeast of Paris, Dijon-Longvic airfield would be run by the Armée de l'Air for another 100 years, until ceasing military operations 2016. A museum opened there in 2022.
