I was going to write a longer post before I left to go back home BUT due to an issue with my plane getting out of London plus an unexpected two day layover in Helsinki I’m too tired to be bothered.

So here’s the quick version – went to the IWM and took more photos and bought another half dozen books mostly Ospreys on the Panzerfaust, Japanese and German lat war defence tactics and on some aircraft. Hopefully when I get back my luggage that I last saw nearly three days ago will join me and I can post images.

Meanwhile the renovations have gone ahead BUT these also have issues. Whilst the upstairs portion will be completed the new model room downstairs has not been painted and so the cupboards have been assembled but not joined together or to the walls pending painting.

I suspect this will be a delay of a few months so once I get the garage workbench area cleared I will recommence the Ta 183.

I’ll post some photos in a week or so once I have recovered.
