    In memory of Flt Lt Tony Hill who, on 5 December 1941, at the request of Doctor R V Jones, successfully photographed a small "Würzburg radar" at Bruneval on the French coast. This from a height of only 200 ft, at high speed, under fire and from a camera mounted obliquely behind the cockpit.

    Good one Bob. Got a few hours in on Cherokees, from 140 to Arrow. Kit is probably Minicraft, if 1/48th scale, although the same kit released under another label I can't remember.

    Good progress Bob. I seem to recall that Airfix did a Cherokee about 20+ years ago in 1/72nd.
