Hi everyone my name is Nick as some of you will already know im new to this forum so be patient with me until i work it all out. To start off i guess everyone knows that some of the collection has been sold of to different people including myself i purchased 68 with the intention to get her airworthy again. I will keep updates on her restoration and photos when possible i hope everyone finds her restoration interesting. Cheers Nick

Welcome aboard Nick! I'm excited to follow along with your project too. It's very cool to be able to watch progress from sitting in John's shed to work underway in your own!
I'm glad the Flickr workaround is good for you, I have the same problem. They don't seem to care too much about mobile users considering we're in the age of the smartphone!
