Hi Laurie

Really looking forward to seeing this one together.

I've managed to make it to your fair Island a couple of times in the last 15 years or so as my wife's godparents live on the island, fairly close to the airport too.

Thanks Andrew see what I can do. The Rapide I was building met a death when I jumped on it. Just looked incorrect on the nose.

Doing well here in Jersey. Only 15 cases out 110,000. no one in hospital. Testing next week 2000 a day results in 9hours, 12 at the moment. All travellorsinto Jersey are tested & loked in until tests are received.
All except the cinema open.

Bit more. Messed up on interior photos all came out out of focus. lens must have jammed.

But since then OK.

Do it Chris. abandoned, just for now, my Falklands dio on the spur of the moment.

Got hold of this Heron with Jersey Airlines emblazoned across the fuselage. Then the imagination went berserk.

Problem is I keep adding another airliner. Going to have to suspend some of the smaller ones as if flying.
