In the end, I'm satisfied with it. Especially when you consider I had to fetch it out of the bin TWICE.


Started a MUCH easier Jaguar T2 now :)

"PR" is Photo Reconnaisance, correct?

Unless I haven't spelled it correctly......

Nice work on ALL of them, Paul........

Very Sweet!

All that kit's missing is the Wires!

(...looking again, maybe that one
didn't have any...)

Hang it from your ceiling, Paul!

I hope Paul doesn't think I was faulting his
work -- Far From It!

I've never flown in a biplane, but I have
certainly heard over the years how great
it is to hear the wires "Sing" in the airflow......
