Don't be so rough on the guy ROLLER. He sounds like a fine engineer in the making. I did a bit of voluntary restoration work in the past and don't regret a minute of it. The old heap still flys and gives a good deal of pleasure to many people. At a guess I'd say that even you have seen our old project at some time and liked it.
Rusty,
Try using the search engines, 'Dogpile' is very good at this sort of search. There are a few projects with links on the web. Here's a couple of links to get you started:

I dunno if your dad being an ex-matelot helps but the Fleet Air Arm Museum is quite near to you at Yeovilton. If an old sailor twists their arm they might let you in to do some tea making and sandpapering. Restoration work always calls for gallons of tea and lots of experienced sandpaperers! As in all things you start at the bottom and work your way up.
