Hi again .
I spoke with my father about the subject of Flying the Lancaster across the channel . From what he remembers Jim Crashed the Lancaster while exhibiting it , apparently it went straight through a caravan and after the close call Jim was worried about hurting someone. My Dad's a good bloke and honest with it but who knows . Whatever the case it's fond memories.
I vaguely remember one of guys who worked in Jim davis models started Apple Models. Maybe he knows more .
Any how
Regards
Alex
