I tried finding your photos on Picasa but did not have any luck. Can you tell the title of some of your photos.

Thank you Will. The images are crystal clear and can be enlarged to see the details. Congratulations on an excellent BE4.

Hi Guys,
This appeared in our local newspaper this week:

I think I should have smiled a bit more but I was probably worried the plane might fall off the base or take off in the wind!

Regards
Will

PS In a typical application of Murphy's Law of Modelling, I've now found a really nice clear photo of no.204 in another book I forgot to check, where she now has a two-bladed airscrew, which would have halved the work on that aspect.  Which particular type the aeroplane had fitted on the trip to Romsey would be a challenge to find out!

Congrats Will!
That has turned out to be a nice model indeed!

Congratulations Will your famous!

That is a very nice model and photo, Will. There appears to be a lot of history referred to in the accompanying article. Again an area in which plastics appear reluctant to compete. Congratulations Will. You've served SMM well.
Cliff.

Will,
Saw today this 1912 book about Hendon Aerodrome on ebay.....includes a view of 204 in flight.

[Balsabasher]

The book may not realise very much as books at the moment are not holding their prices,what with Kindle's and other electronic devices the bookshops are heaving with unsold stock,I will always prefer book's for reference over such things,if its unsold what is the EBay number Mark please ?

Barry.

Barry,

It looks interesting but condition is poor for earlier parts:

There are 14 pages "supersized" available in the listing worth looking at.  A couple of the photos I think recognise from other books
