Where do you pick them up? I am obviously trying the wrong places?

Back in 2008 I called Roger for the first time. Made an order person to person...$1100 if I remember correctly. The parts showed up before I sent payment. Roger did not know me from Adam's house cat.
I will always use Roger as my FIRST choice.....

You keep popping up with little gems of aircraft, nice dehavilland mosquito.

There is one being restored at Point Cook in Victoria Australia.

Roger, which war was that.....?

You guys are right. Roger is the best. I would not have him in my signature line if I did not believe in him.

+1 on the service alone. Just from reading this board, I know he's been absolutely slammed and I've been hitting him with one off requests through a TB/WP job with new motor mounts and it seems like a ton of stuff and he's been incredibly responsive. I'm new to this do it yourself maintenance thing and he's really making me feel more and more comfortable, just with the service alone.....

FYI but he may not want you to know. He has excellent access to many Euro parts mfg. I got Ferrari belts from him, Lambo carb parts, and I'm going to stress him getting me a clutch for a Matra soon. That should gobsmack him right well enough.

I've experienced the same as you guys... ROGER IS THE BEST!!! Actually tried to talk me OUT of buying the most expensive T/B... what parts-guy anywhere EVER does that? Also, walked me through what parts I needed for the job, which parts were "nice to have" and which I parts I wanted to order, but didnt need... Didnt try to sell me stuff I didnt need or want... and prices are very competitive! A true friend and I've never even met him...

He's working again today, bringing me some parts because I'm working today. I might need to open some wine for the man.
