Hi Bob……..forgot you were on here

I don’t like bothering you too much. I imagine you get dozens of requests about specific aircraft……I am at fault as i ask occasionally

not seen that email about the Ronne expedition yet mate………..looking forward to that one.

thanks for that info – it fill in the gaps for the 4th CAS aircraft.

any chance of a pic or two of this one please………email is ok as posting pics on here isn’t that easy

have a good one
