ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION
I was very pleased to add the below model to my collection yesterday. It was
very kindly sent to me by the parents of a friend of mine who passed away
suddenly just before Christmas and was part of his model collection. The
model will be displayed prominently in my collection and every time I look
at it I will remember him. A nice memory.
