Nice one Duke! And a nice personal touch with your nephew flying this bird.

Some more progress, I made replacement canopies. A simple push mould. Success rate was 2 out of 5.

Congratulations Mike!

I am currently on holiday in Normandy. And today we visited the V-1 site at Val Ygot. The Tempest was one of the planes used to intercept V-1’s.
