Thanks Dave, and here is a picture which I sent to you privately already, but I repeat it here in order to share it with you all. It is a giant (I guess well over a meter long/wingspan) model of the Mayo Composite Aircraft which is exhibited in the local war museum on the Dutch island of Texel:

I have been looking for a nice example of the dark green Motocart for over 10 years.

The one above arrived from America this morning, my patience has finally paid off. Dave
