And it is a great mix, highlight for me was the article on the Vincent and Baffin restorations in New Zealand. Good pics and writting.

Wonder why RAFM decided not to pursue acquisition of the Vincent. IIRC in the AM interview with Ms Appleton it was said to be for conservation reasons but can’t imagine it would be any worse than the Beaufort and P40 acquired through the Tallichet deal. Surely a unique member of the Wildebeest/Vincent family would be welcome despite any shortcomings.

Also interesting that she listed three of the key wants for RAFM as Stirling, Whitley and Hornet.
