Too true. We had a nice Xmas, but yesterday we had to take her to the doctor 
becase she got a little bit of fever and a red eye. There's no time to rest 
at the Fernetti Manor!

It makes sense that they used bitumen for the floats, however I imagine that 
it must be heavier than varnish.

Imagine a town named V19! No wonder why the Jerries lost the war.

Looks great, such a simple design! Never quite understood why they called it
"Putbus" afterwards.

Black floats? Scale black floats? unusual!
