Hi Mick,
There was a list of different types they were looking for, WW1 types as well as WW2 types, I handed the list to Phil Earthey as I knew he knocks around with you big hitters.
I thought the same as you, the RAFM would be jumping up and down like mad to come up with a trade to get a Havoc up our way, the photo's of the two projects that they have for trade are really good ones, not scrap, good solid project that looks very complete.
I don't have any special connection to the type, I would just like to see a bird that was operated by the RAF up in this part of the world, and the one that is for sale on a certain German web site is a little bit over priced and a little over crushed for my interest.
Hope all is well with you Mick, keep up the excellent postings.
Best regards,
Will
