I thought they scrapped the Beverley a few years ago........

interesting, everything aside from the home page for the link:

http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/aircraft/vincent.htm

tells me I might need to download and install " quick time installer from apple computer, inc. " and shows a blank page.

is anyone else having this problem?
