The photograph on the right was sent to me some months after my project was finished, so I can't claim it as source material! It was provided by Andrew Gibbs (http://www.gibbsguides.com/) who, together with his father, had a ride in this very aircraft back in 1997.

A write-up on this model appeared in Andrew's "Talking Electrics" column in the May 2009 edition of Aviation Modeller International.
