| Morning Brenden, My error in typing. Got distracted as PH-AJU also at Lelystad in Netherlands (ex N39165). Example at Morrabbin marked similalry with a few differences but is named "Uivers" and regn is PH-AJU. Regards Rick |

| All good, and cheers for the reports. I noticed that you missed out on going inside the museum at Greenock. It is a treasure trove inside. |

| Morning Brenden, Unfortunately to enjoy the road from Adelaide to my overnight at Hay, I wished to leave early and went to Greenock at 08:30am. At that time in the morning I would not wish to disturb the owner and later would spoil a great road thoroughly enjoyed. So a deliberate Canberra only visit. Hoping to upload some photos later this week. Kind regards Rick |

| Fair enough. He is a very welcome owner and very happy to show anyone the collection for a donation. |
