Keith Paine has been quietly reworking his Percival Proctor for Fs9 (and nominally FSX)
he says he will be making several versions including a MkIV. still a work in WIP but watch the Pond for release dates.

Oh yes.....and maybe if I'm really really good, there could be a Gull ?
Miss Southern Cross, for instance ?

If I remember rightly someone else was working on a beautiful Vega Gull a couple of years back

Cheers, Leif -
I remember there was a Mew Gull, the pure racing machine, but I don't recall hearing of a Vega. In any case, Smithy's machine, later purchased by P.G. Taylor, was a Gull Four. The Vega Gull appeared later as a derivative of the Gull Six, which had the six-cylinder DH engine as opposed to the earlier 4-cylinder DH Gypsy Major.

Don't know if (or how) you celebrate Easter, but have a good one.
EDIT: Dammit, forgot the link :((
