Vladimir's Barn and his fully restored Fokker Triplane
Hello Everyone, Vlad, here.....
Here is my plan, I'm all gassed up and ready to FLY! Julia's Beach is where the Kite "Fly-In" Festival is being held, and I plan to FLY-IN and surprise everyone!!!! Won't they be shocked!
Keep your fingers crossed that I don't crash and burn on her maiden flight! That would surely put me on the late night news - I can see the Headlines......Vlad does it again, with a Splash! Video at 11 PM, tune in to Commonwealth Channel 11!
Locals shocked when a fly over turns into a crash landing.
Wish me luck! Be seeing you!
Vlad
Sandy's Notes for background on story -
Kite Festival - held on a beach near a "Julia's Spa" which approx. 10-12 north of where I am building my house - there is this character "Vladimir" who lives on the island - and is well known for his technical expertise of restoring old "things" - for over a year not he has been secreted away a lot in his barn working on "something" and has been bartering
for gasoline. Locals have been wondering what he has been up to - and today they are going to find out.
I've been wanting to meet him, to discuss him taking a look at "La Bella Dame" an antique sewing machine that I bartered traded some services for with Mrs. Lillian Tawicky. I think there is more to her than meets the eye. She has recently lost her beloved dog, Rudy and seems so sad. She and I are going to go shopping for fabric and sewing notions, since in return for the sewing machine (and if you want to see her she is a beautiful Treadle - go to my previous blog post)....I will be making new curtains for her cottage and I am sure a few other things that she might need mending......
