On the assumption its the one Tom Willows has rebuild (I never took note of the reg when I was there)- man - he and his troops do neat work!

Oom Flippies Dak has to be one of the best looked after examples in the world today. I've flown with him before and all I can say is if you get so much as a greasy fingerprint on her you'd better hit the ground running.... :wink:

Took this pic of a Harvard sandwich from the Harvard Cafe.

Funny how the angle of the pic makes it look as if they have glider wings
