My FE2b reproduction..

Dan-San.......Sorry ,.... I did not notice the PC 10 heading on your questions post ,...(was it there then , or have you edited it in since ? ).....Anyway , although I do of course know what this PC10 refers to , now . (as opposed to P 10 which you wrote )...I do not have a copy of the original PC10 document.........I rather tend to be mainly interested in the actual engineering side of things , and to leave discussions of this exterior aspect to you guys , particularly in respect to British finishes.......and especially in view of the tendance of such discussions to get overheated. Regards John.

It has come to my attention , on this and other threads within the forum , that there are a very small number of people , (and THEY themselves will know if this applies to them . ), who request information or ask one or more questions , and who , when answered in full , do not bother to reply even with a "Thank you ".......I would just like to point out that , although everyone has the right to ask a question and receive a reply , the information contained within it is discetionary .........It can take quite a considerable amount of time and effort to give an answer in detail , and / or provide scans & diagrams etc...and it is only " common courtesy " to say "Thank you " ...(even if it may not have been what you wanted exactly)..............To the vast majority on the forum who DO have good manners ;... let us hope that this tiny minority , to whom this is directed , may now learn by by your example ........Thanks for your support , Regards ...John .

John, well done, the FE2b looks superb - I was supposed to be at the unveilling ceremony in RFC air mechanic uniform but wasn't due to various problems with the RAFM, looking forward to seeing it in person though - the 'Fee' is one of my favourite types, and i'm glad we now have one in the UK

Dogtail 2..Hi Pete....Thanks for your support.........AAC Cadet Leader...Matha and Leicester Tiger.....Thanks , ...Nice of you to say all that ...............Leicester T.....It was VERY hot on the day , needed quite a few "orange squashes " to keep cool.....You would have been sweltering in that "RFC mechanics" overall....There were staff from the "arts" ? departement there for the photo shoot , dressed in RFC etc. uniforms , but they didn't look too comfortable in the heat , in collers and ties.......(I was supposed to wear a tie ...Orders from ' er indoors , but I got away with it as it was so hot ! ).........What with everything going on , I didn't get much of a chance to photograph the FE myself , and , anyway , the lighting was a bit dark for GOOD shots .....If you get to take any good ones , I 'd love a copy or two .....as I remember , you'r just around the corner to RAFM ?.....(I hate the traffic , driving up there ! )....Regards..John.
