Re: 299 Squadron Stirling Build - Arnhem
It's looking great, Guy. As Ed mentioned last year, your old photos aren't showing so if you get the chance to re-post them, it would be much appreciated.

Re: 299 Squadron Stirling Build - Arnhem
So Sorry not to have got back to you at the time you posted. Life has been somewhat hectic having re-married! Would you believe that my Stirling is still in its box?
