While surfing the gallery I came across some interesting facts. The most popular model photo belongs to Barry with 2026 views follow by not so close Jeff H with 1229 views of his Cessna 310. This is followed by Ray's YMS prototype at 1129. Total gallery views to date are 4,251,271.

New builds for September were:
Harvey's 1/48 DH-88 Comet.


Johnny's 1/56 Airacobra


Gordon's 1/48 BAT FK26


Lou's 1/144 North Star and 1/72 DHC-1 Chipmunk


These five raises our total to 48 models.

A word from Pete:
Hi Lou

I'm carving eight turtles, sets of two sea turtles one swimming up and the other diving. Two are going to my great granddaughter in Japan, and one to my granddaughter who is stationed in cold lake and having my fifth grandchild in January.

Ken Noble is cutting out five aircraft out on eastern red cedar for me, one is the  CL 415 water bomber, I have a Concorde on the go, he's sending me a banshee, vampire, and Vulcan as well.
There's a T33 cut out as well as, from butternut, a lanc and a Halifax.
I'm turning 88 in January, the hands aren't as good any more so, if I can finish all these I may stop....I've already slowed down.
Nice to hear from you.

Cheers, Pete

Upcoming:  Lt. R.L.G. Marix's Sopwith Tabloid.

Be well, all.
