I have received an e-mail from Elliot Smock.

Apparently his web-site will be available soon. I'll post a link to
it from here when it is.

Further recoveries are planned for Scotland over the summer and I'll
try to attend these.

Here is an extract from Elliot's e-mail:


"We have the materials for our first jig now (rear
fuselage) but there are the usual unanticipated
holdups from various beurocrats. C'est la vie!

We have also unbolted the stb'd wing and may start
work on that first - I have had dies made for the
trailing edge rib channel section and we will recieve
40m of this stuff when I get round to paying them.
I'll be diving in the channel looking for a Whitley
this weekend too so there is lots going on."

Any more news and I'll let you know.

Steven Reynolds.
