Hi Jim Glad you liked the Bee. I had the fuselage recovered a few years ago and that smartened it up: she probably looks the best ever at the moment and I propose to keep it that way. I'm afraid I don't have any drawings of the exhaust or tank. The tank was made by Motorsport Revival in York who use...

Hi Paul Good to hear from you. I think we all go through phases with our flying and having two engine problems on and just after take off certainly slowed me down a little. But I'm back and hoping to fly for another 20 years!! There seem to be fewer Nippers flying at the moment which is a shame. I k...

Good Rally this year with 750 visiting aircraft. My Nipper was on static display and attracted lots of interest too!!
