The Fighter Collection

  • All Move

    OK, our  photographer  said “I’ll  get you the most amazing picture for the  May  desktop”  What  he  didn’t  say was he was  going to La Ferte in the middle of May to  catch the picture, calendar will  be  here next week…maybe!

    In other news we  have  moved the  Friends pages tonight, those you log in to  view  and the FofTFC shop, to a secure  server.  The old server could not  cope with all our  members   logging in for  our latest  news!  This s  nearly  complete and some pictures and “stuff” may not  be quite where it should be.  However the   result should be  faster access  on both websites. If  something doesn’t work please let us  know.  Operationally  you  may  notice for some pages  you are on foftfc.com and others fighter-collection.com  .

  • New Miss Velma film

    Our  colonial engineer  Lawrence was up  in Miss Velma  recently with his old super  8   cine  camera.  We put the results on our  Facebook  page but if  you  don’t do Facebook  here is  the  video:

     

  • A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
