    Thanks Nigel! By the way you remind me to an uncle one of my friends had. Every time he came to visit my friend he brought amazing presents with him

    It seems that every time you visit your friends here, you want to spoil us as well!
    But don't worry you are always welcome (and its really not necessary to bring presents every time )

    Thanks again,
    Huub

    "YES!!! I can fly her"... he says. (from the movie of which the name escapes me). Didn't Indiana Jones' fishing buddy have an AVRO Sea Tutor waiting at the bottom of the hill as Indy came charging down, trying to escape the arrows and spears of the local natives? Well.. we have one now I reckon, and she's a beauty!

    A special thanks to all involved, I know you have worked a long time to get the Tutor Series to the level of workmanship and quality that it is, well worth the wait mates! It has always been, and will always be a pleasure to work with you, Nigel!

    ERM... seems that portion of the film has been blocked in the good ol' USA due to copyright content. Oh well... the memory is still pretty clear. Still, the Sea Tutor is second to none. You don't see this level of detail and artistry in a freeware release.

    Hello Nigel,
    Your AVROs are a magnificent flightsim achievement. The modeling and artwork is splendid,
    and they all fly beautifully. My sincere thanks to you, and to your expert team members.
    Well done all.

    John

    P.S. the Sea Tutor package arrived just in time for this year's seaplane races
    on the Solent.

    Y'know you could always do the Mount Kyle paintjob Nigel,
    in the book it was a twin float spotter seaplane, the film producers swapped it to the Duck, because thats all they could find

    Thanks Huub.

    LOL. Errrr...your friend's uncle wasn't a gentleman by the name of S. Claus, by any chance?...

    I bring what I can to the party, even though it pains me that I cannot in my present situation donate that which I would wish.

    Well, one thing's for sure - the package now includes your good old Dad's aircraft, Pete.
    Thanks for inspiring the 'RNAS Gosport' livery, matey.
