Well I can answer that one, Bluebird is alive and building conservatories. The old git is well and I spoke to him last week, he has stopped building for the minute SWMBO has him working on the house.
I have tried to tempt him with the HMS Exeter or HMS Warspite. But knowing John he will go so far in to the research he loses weeks. The Fairmile B he built and researched was unbelievable only to enter it in to the Harrogate show and get nothing ( Thats another thread)
I have sent over the link to this site so hopefully mmgemini finds us.
