My thanks go out to the many people who were involved and who influenced this package. Thanks also to the design forums that are so important to share new information, Freeflight Design Shop and all its great members and the SOH Design forum. Special thanks goes out to Mike Hambly who graciously permitted use of his sound files. I also wish to acknowledge the very talented repainters who add value to these releases by their many contributions. A special thanks to Damian Radice who graciously took this project on and then routinely impressed us with his great textures.
Mike "Lefty" Wilkinson with the help of Bill Brady were a tremendous help with getting reference pictures and information at the Scottish Museum of Flight and finding more information than I thought was available through various sources. I want to thank Moses03 at SOH for making the connection with Lefty.
Last but not least, I thank Scott Thomas for his tireless and enthusiastic work over the years. His panel and gauge work is simply awesome. Without Scott, these projects would not have been done.
