    Hi ,I am pretty sure the engine used in Don Cashmore`s Hawker Cygnet is a Mosler not a half V.W engine.

    With all the different subcontractors building Spitfire/Seafire parts and their different codes for these parts and sub-assemblies.Also the various places Spitfires were assembled would make a fascinating book.
    Have you ever considered writing one Mark 12? I for one would be interested and I daresay many others would be too.Heres hoping.

    Lovely looking aircraft,I must admit that I was very excited that the Caudron had been recreated when I first read about it.Here`s hoping it comes and does a few appearances this side of the channel.

    I heard it was at Kemble.Don`t know how true this is though.

    A bit niave I suppose, but does that fin and rudder still exist Mark 12?.Great if it does,a future rebuild maybe?

    Very interesting article Peter.Quite biased the way its written,but I can appreciate it from both angles.The main thing that I found interesting was the qauntity planes that they alleged were still out there undiscovered,wonder how accurate that is or is it just journalistic licence.

    Hi Tom, never saw the original site but what you`ve got now looks pretty good.I`m no computer expert but I think it`s ok.
