Dave - did you post the day it arrived at your place? Mine didn't arrive until today (Saturday)... I wonder what's with that?

Chris

No I posted it the day it arrived at the Classic Wings office, we get a box couriered from the printers. It has to go from the printers to the labelling house and then sent out in the post, hence the day or two delay before you get it.

Dave

Ahh, I see once again the value of missing information Thoroughly enjoyed the article on the Yak Radials and the Hurri recovery... another well done to the Classic Wings team.

Thanks Chris. It is not often we can do a comprehensive report on a Russian recovery only a month after it happened. That happened because there are no immediate plans to sell it. If sponsorship can be forthcoming it is even possible it wil have the work done in N.Z. We just need some patriotic Russian billionare to step up
We had to sit on the Pearce Emil and the Siberian 52 for almost a year before it could be made public, we hope to run something on another spectacular recovery in the next edition...permission pending !
