Done Garry
Sorry about that as usual - I was working under several deadlines

It gave me an excuse to post another shot of Robs Gannet :)

they both fly as gorgeous as they look (The Gannet and the Auster)

anyone who flies the Auster on 2D panel when its released is a plonker -- It makes you WANT to go buy TrackIR

I'm waiting anxiously for the Gannet too. Can anything be done about the rather odd look off a)the glass and b) under the spinner in the intakes.. it's too light in there!

The Auster is as expected ;)

Thanks Dave -- Rob will see that Im sure - but I will mention it to him as well

The Auster -- well Daves just plugging away at the production list -- god knows who he will take on when he finally finishes -- but there are a couple of Percys out there that REALLY need doing

Well, let's see now -
I've built the J1 Autocrat, the J5-B (Gipsy engine), J5-V (Lycoming), AOP-6, T-7 trainer, T-7 on floats & skis, AOP-9, Aiglet Trainer, and now the MK-3.
By my count that leaves only another 44 to go :doh: However, many were just re-engined versions, a few were designed, but not built, some were prototypes only, of which some were just plain silly - like the Model H glider :worried:
That still leaves me with a fair number to build. Originally I thought I'd just have to 'cut & paste' to churn out another, but, no, basically each turns out to be a 'start- again' job with only wings and tail parts being interchangable. Good job I don't do repaints :agree:
All the builds are of course available at http://classicbritishfiles.com/ and all are for FS9. As I don't run FSX :OB: , there's no chance of me producing for that any time soon.
Merry Christmas :xgrin:
Dave M(oly) :cheers:
