Hi there

Flitzer's submitted a fine review of Planet Model's kit of this unusual aircraft.

As I used to work in the same factory where this plane was built, I admit to a certain "bias" in its favour!

The Isle of Wight may not have a lot to shout about, but we did build the world's first jet-powered flying-boat, and (not surprisingly, when you think about it...) the first flying-boat to exceed 500 mph!

Nice one Peter! Keep 'em coming...

All the best

Rowan
