The model was slightly damaged during a high speed beaching when a float was punctured.
I believe it has been repaired and is ready for the 2006 season. | |

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever, you should have kept it!!
The shot of it in flight is amazing, what a superb aircraft. | |

Hi All,
Duncan, we no longer have any pictures of the models used in the Flambards TV Seires.
However, here are some more pictures of the Wings models taken from an article Dave Boddingto wrote in RCM&E back in 1977.
