Having been privy to Garry's project from about the begining - (and I have used this expression a little to much recently) It is a labour of love , both as a
first time model and as a tribute to a truly unique Classic British aircraft. Garry , Brian Horsey, John Payne, have put so much into it, When released
it will be a true masterpiece and something that everyone will wish to fly.

Garry, Thank you my friend

A team effort indeed

There is of course a Fraser McKay panel and a soundpack being made by Aeromusica :)

Yes, absolutely gorgeous.

Not you Garry, the model.

What did you think I meant?

Thanks Ian

it's the reasearch that has been tricky but eventuall I have had bits of help form all over and that has helped it to pull together.

Also modelling issue have been well supported too :)
