    Hi Mike

    I will post soon but they are very poor as I explained – no light – too far away through a fence – but I will post after I have had a fiddle to make them a bit better.

    I am rather hoping that someone over in the UK will give ME some Good pics when she shows up!!!!!!

    I am pretty well camped out at the docks here every day now in case the second one mentioned comes through in daylight – I don’t want to miss that one. One thing I have just noticed though is that the aircraft and one wing are very faded black and one wing (very banged up) is olive drab/grey undersurface ?

    Kindest regards

    Well I thinki diversity is good and I think it is great that some Spits look different to others and portray all the various versions and sub types – its not like there is a shortage of eleptical versions around. I also like to see the Griffon engined clipped wing version as well – looks very mean but “right ” somehow.

    Hi Cees

    Why not it is still sitting there slowly rotting away looking like the ugly stepdaughter – what a shame – Still the Canucks showed them how it is done and perhaps they are soon to repeat the dose!!!!

    Hi All

    Back from Canberraa today and saw the AWM example again while I was there – they have closed the public access to the annex at Mitchell so you can’t see the overflow collection any more.

    On the subject of New build Mossies there is still a fair quantity of stuff (metal components only) here in Australia so it could be that some of the stuff for an FB IV could come from here.

    Hi Peter

    Fair enough, now I know why they were upset

    I thought it was because I was Australian – seems to upset everybody else

    Hi all

    I’ve made suggestions along those lines in the past and they won’t let me fly on their airline anymore

    Kindest regards

    Being of Scottish descent I am somewhat disturbed by reports of the pending sale of Glen Morange ( Spelling excused please) – What do you know of this it’s an outrage if a southerner gets it !!!

    I am sure we can “do a deal” when I get there- I love Scotland – the trouble you will have is getting me to leave!!

    Kindest regards
    Looking forward to seeing you all

    Hi Albert

    I am scheduled to arrive in the UK on 28 September at 5.00am and I will be there for 3 weeks so there is plenty of time to catch up – I am intending to stay around the Cambridge/london area for the first week so we can work out a meeting soon

    Kindest regards
