So, could I suggest that I would be more than happy to forward any comments, encouragement, requests for prices etc to Mike but would like to do so without too much impact on my real job. I suggest that if anybody wants any of the above, send me a mail message (either on the list or direct) and include your surface address. I will then print them out at the end of a week and send them smail to Mike, with an invitation either to reply directly to each of you or to reply to me to post on the list. With your permission I shall send him the posts so far, which I think he will find very encouraging.

Excellent! Berlin Phil, among others? Good for you! However, maybe we could back up the selection to perhaps a Bach oratorio or something from the Baroque. I could play a descant of sorts on my piccolo trumpet, and the others could form a basso continuo, as there were no set formulae for such (even though it was usually harpsichord and bass viol).

I assume that the immediate nose, cockpit decking and area in front of the engine are metal, so would the plywood panels be those aft of the fabric? Or are these metal as well? In the Datafile these are labeled as A5985-38 and A5985-39, and they appear to have reinforcements to the fastener locations which wouldn't be necessarily be used on a metal panel. Also does anyone know of drawings of the 160hp Beardmore other than those in C&C(GB) 3/4, WW1 Aero 121 or the photos in Windsock 11/5.

Message-ID: Dear Gentlemen: with regards to our list librarian, I would just like to comment that I have both borrowed and loaned items from this gentleman, received copies and sent copies, and I have always found Riordan (or do you prefer Rory? I never asked you.) to be quick, responsive, courteous, generous, and to have taken excellent care of the materials I have loaned to him, to have returned them promptly and in good condition, and to have been patient when I needed to hang on to material which I borrowed for rather longer than he held on to material which I loaned. Just thought you all should know, those of you who haven't made use of the list library.

Have you been able to spec it out yet? I'm concerned about this, since Pegasus screwed up the German Albatros D.III. > Also of interest to members of this list: > The following Pegasus kits are announced for 1998-1999: > 1029 Albatros D.I/II @ GBP 10.99 > 2018 Arsenal VG.33 (WWII French) @11.99 > 4007 Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 @13.99 > 2019 Macchi M5 Seaplane @11.99 > 1/72 decals: Pegaset 014 RFC Roundels & Rudder Stripes Vol 3 @ 3.50 Too cool! I have been wanting a kit of the M.5 for quite awhile, and was about to scratch one (see, I didn't even start, and already it's an injected kit :-)). I am also concerned about the D.I/D.II. Since the D.III is screwed up, I sure hope the D.I/D.II isn't. Otherwise I'll have to stick with the Classic Plane (or Hora - anybody spec the Hora to see how accurate it is?). > The following Blue Max kits are announced for 1998-1999: Who cares. Hey, easy mate, just kidding! :-) > Say what you will about Chris Gannon, I for one am very glad > he's producing these kits! For the most part I feel the same way. However, the Albatros D.III gave me a bad feeling about Pegasus, and it looks like the W.29 is the same way. Sure hope he catches back up to his earlier releases!
