Richard;

The Good Herr Doktor Von Humbrol always asserted it was Dymphna in the photos. And how do you explain the chicken in photo 4? Remember Dymphna's fling with Albert Ball and the chicken? The evidence is circumstantial I agree and just because we dont have a "full frontal fuselage" picture it doesn't mean it isnt Dymphna. If only that chicken could talk.....

As for Enrico Garcia Fernandez Del Morte, his attempts to blackmail Herr Doktor Von Humbrol are a black day in modern psychiatry. However, you'll agree his demise in a duel with the "Duelling Professor" Dr Count Guido Italeri has a certain poetry to it. Seems he tried a similar trick with the Count but didn't take into account the Count's deadly skills with a rapier. Oh well such is history.

We will agree to withdraw our claims re the photos if Great Aunt Dymphna returns Vol 4 (known as "The Hidden Years Volume") of the Professor's memoirs to its rightful home at The Institute.

By the way Richard any thoughts on CMAS? Do you too suffer from this complaint?

All the Best

Top Gun:

We at The Institute know of Queen Elizabeth's Airfix habits. I can say this now but a couple of years ago Lizzie had terrible AMS. She had built the Airfix Blenheim 127 times, each time trying to get the clear nose transparencies to fit right. Which, of course, is near impossible to do without some major alteration.

All we did was turn her on to Tamiya and Eduard kits and she hasn't had a days AMS since. Thanks to our timely intervention the monarch was saved from AMS and I believe my knighthood is in the next honours list

All The Best
