Woo! Aeromarine!
Daily flights between Key West & Habana. What a job! My kingdom for a time machine!

I have negotiated with David Miller for him to re-do and expand the Internet modeller article for inclusion on SEAWINGS..!!
It's a cracking model and 'how it was built' will interest many.
I also have a series of pfoto's of the Aeromarine craft to accompany it.
