If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

The cat has other things on her mind - such as how my finger tastes...!
Popping out for a wee while, but I shall continue on my return!

Off to a good start Daren and it's great to see a Spitfire, not a subject we see on here very often. Popping out? in a Blitz?? very cool I must say

Daren when you say you are popping out for a wee while how long do you mean?
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Whatever he popped out for seems to be taking longer than expected.

Relax, dudes, I'm here!
So, this was the state of play a wee while ago:
Some more bits attached, such as under-wing radiators, aerial mast and tailwheel. The prop has been painted, too.
Next step is to start painting the aluminium on it....!
