An apology to Dave Garwood

[Paul K]

I've been doing some circuits in the Mosquito this evening, getting used to its performance, different flap settings and so on. Thoroughly enjoyed myself too; its a model of a very high powered aircraft, but doesn't overwhelm or intimidate. Very 'comfortable' to fly, if you know what I mean. It must have taken an enormous amount of work.

Which brings me to my apology. I must admit I did get a bit of a bee in my bonnet about the nose. I went on a bit about it, didn't I ? A more rounded nose...pfft...how could that possibly be ? Well, I tried looking at a few more photos and eventually found out. You are right and I am miserably wrong, and how could it be any other way ?

Dave G, I humbly apologise for being a pain in the arse on the matter.

Hi Paul,

No apology is needed.
There were so many variations in all parts of the Mosquito across different marks and sub-types that it's easy to get lost as to which is which. Believe me I know
No model is perfect, and I know the nose is one area that could be improved.

TBH, it's nice to know that folk look at the models so closely . Models such as this are indeed a thing of beauty and not something to half look at with partially closed eyes. .

Sometimes, queries like this can bring to the fore many subtle differences in sub types as one seeks to check out making it, at times, quite an educational investigation

Thank you Dave, very gracious of you.

Yes Garry, it certainly is a thing of beauty.
