    Yes Martin, about two weeks after deciding to collect Wyvernalia :D, i spotted it advertised in Flypast magazine. I thought “blimey this is going to be easy”, but how wrong i was.
    Its one of only two survivors that i know of. And it was not until some twenty years later that i eventually found a matching windscreen section!

    There you go always in a hurry to get things done :diablo:

    We have had a glider of nearly 30 years still not finished yet.

    Dad had two spitfire tail light covers, from when he was in the Raf post war. I think the first bits i found was of the Slingsby Motor Tutor that i saw crash in june 1964, when i had just turned 9 years old. I use to look for bits of it every weekend. We use to go to North Wales in the 60’s. We woul go up to where the Boston and Ventra crashed. pick up bits.

    It was a great shame it stopped. I knew many people who preferred to the up and coming magazine.
