| Interesting stuff, thanks for the link. They certainly look realistic, and the George Lucas replicas look good up close too. Roman (Seesul) recently posted some pics of the film being shot on location, not far from him, in the Czech Republic.

| Watched the show, and it was very good. May got to fly in, and fly, Caroline Grace's Spit MkIX, lucky bar steward!! Well worth seeing if you can, as James May got the company to actually make a 1:1 kit, not their usual, fully braced, strong GF replicas.
