    That's about the right weight for the subject.  Well done and thanks Captain.

    Enjoyed the video.  They were starting to thin out in these days although no the wilderness it is now.

    You're a star Captain.  Was there any more info eg. builder, engine, etc in the 48 almanac? It's a big jigsaw that's coming together nicely and well, being an incurable romantic, I like nice endings. Looking like a next build already........if only to see what she would look like 3 dimensional.  See what you started Ally?
    Thanks

    Been up Arbroath today, Captain. Confirmed that she is the same AH65 'Sunshine'.  Somebody remembered her! Amazing where these pages take us. Would still like to build her.
