I see that Encyclopedia set that you begged Santa for when you were a kid wasn't wasted.

Thanks guys, That Sea Hurri was a substitute for a Hawker Hind which was supposed to be displayed, However since they rebuilt its engine it has had intermitant problems so the Shuttleworth people kindly sent along the Sea Hurri instead, Apparently it  doesn't get out much and as it is very rare I figured you guys would like to see it :D

Funny, I never see them like that... the only ones I ever see are missing pieces, on fire and dropping outa the sky like eskimo on a vulch run. :D
