Hello, I work for UK-based documentary production company NERD TV (http://www.nerdsite.co.uk).

We're making a TV series for a US network about people with interesting collections of aircraft. The important thing is that the collections cannot be entirely comprised of gleaming, pristine museum pieces.

An ideal candidate would be someone with a couple of airworthy planes and a few other projects that are in various stages of completion (the messier the better). They could be unfinished projects, once-loved specimens that have fallen into disrepair, or just rusty shells in a barn. The more the better.

We would also need the subjects to have other (non-aviation) items in their vehicular collections; a classic car gathering dust, a pile of disassembled motorbikes, a boat sitting on a trailer, or maybe even an old bus in a field.

At this point, we're just trying to speak to people - nothing will be broadcast. The idea of the show is for our restoration team to help bring fading collections back to their glistening best. This could be a chance for people to finally complete projects that have been on-the-go for years, and may even add significant value.

If you, or someone you know, might fit the bill (or are just curious about the idea), please email me at oliver@nerdsite.co.uk or call 0207 043 0080.

Many thanks,

Oliver
