Zac , In a way , its great seeing how it grows, or the changes , the big task now is not the gluing the wings on but the plumbing and wiring , great thing is watching it grow , I've yet to confirm with the guy's when I can be there .. maybe help a little .. when come the wing gluing B-)

MARCH 6TH Weekend meet with Grant Aka 'nuuumannn', It was a great pleasure meeting up, always is a fantastic visiting Wigram Force Museum, the few choice photo's I got but I'm sure Grant has many many more .. if his camera was a machine gun they will be wheeling back into the maintenance hangar to patch it up, it was a 30 to 45 minutes shooting this aircraft alone. B-)

I have Keith Hackett's model in my FS9 VFR install. Nice old bird for trundling around in, but while it might be an Airspeed, it doesn't achieve much in terms of groundspeed :D

My trip package includes "Visit the Air Force Museum of New Zealand (free entry)"...Is that the polite name for Wiggy?

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Hey, don't do too much - if it's really tidy, I just won't feel at home :lol:
