Good stuff. :ok: Not very many of those left now, I believe? :sad:

Your mates need to shell out for a couple of Ian Campbell's leather-covered helmets (http://www.campbellaeroclassics.com/): so much more authentic-looking than the plastic bonedome the backseater is wearing in the photo. :ugh:

Interesting - anyone explain the difference between the tailwheel in imabell's restoration pic and the war pic... I'm not mixing it, just curious...

Very observant!!! :}

Tyre size? All the CAC Wirraways and Ceres here (http://users.chariot.net.au/~theburfs/wirrawaypage2.html) have small tail wheels.
