Hey Lew, look forward to seeing the progress on you're carrier. One engine and box is ready and was done by Dave Lean. Most other little thing are done and I've made a couple of repro Vickers holders.
Colin.

Default Amazing Colin!

During WW2 we could have done without all the other contractors to build the 5,000 plus carriers and just employed you I reckon!
