Dear Mum, Thank you very much for the lovely birthday present. It was a bit of a squeeze, building it on my bunk, but I finished it and the Captain helped me try it out when we surfaced yesterday. Bill took a photo from the dinghy, but unfortunately wasn't able to row fast enough to retrieve the plane before it sank. The Captain says he really enjoyed it, and hopes you will send me another one for Christmas. Love, Jim xxx
P.S. There's another kit, called a "Typhoon". I'd really like one of those.
