It has been depicted in a few kits and profiles but I'm sure there has been no mention of the identity of the pilot of Black 13.

Was thinking in those lines as well O' Enlighten One... 
Well, it's a "13", and that's good enough for me.

"Hello old chap, just popping out to buy some glue."
And so read Jan's text message to me - yeah, b*ll*cks! Nearly bought the whole shop, didn't you?!
Great info on those P/F51's Evan. It really must be a b*mmer seeing your country's aircraft being shipped out like that, it's bad enough when it happens here in the UK. BTW, that 'third type of prop' might have been the Hamilton Standard, with the cuffs removed. The giveaway is normally the chord shape, and the width of the blade at the root, which, although similar in appearance to the Aero Products unit, is different on closer inspection. Of course, I could be wrong......

An AIRWORTHY Beau!!?? Didn't know there were any! I did hear that a Beau was being exported in exchange for something else though, but I can't remember what. Far as I know though, it was a restored Beau, static display only. I'll see if I can find the magazine it was in.

Really Terry? I only heard it via word of mouth so didn't get much on it ,I think it was to be restored to airworthyness over here at ,all I heard was there was to be an airworthy Beau in NZ coming from England .I now think someone was pulling a fast one on me

MODELIMEX - plastic models, resin kits, aircraft, afv, decals
Now, why, oh why, doesn't more online shops do this? 8)

I'll tell ya why, they're bloody lazy! Most online shops are actual stores trying to fetch double business [In the US atleast]. Like megahobby.com, I google mapped their address and its some little store on a street. Their online support sucks, their communication is slow and not official, and they ship the wrong items. I got some testors putty when I wanted the clear parts cement, they said oh, what item do you want we'll ship. So I said I ordered testors clear parts and microscale masking liquid, hopefully I can double in on this gamble.
