It’s been a long time since the last update, and rather a lot has happened! As is my normal MO, I did a lot of thinking and planning while sitting on a beach over the summer holidays, and came back not only re-energised but with a clear plan for what I wanted to achieve in the short term. Back in the workshop some huge changes have taken place; the fold-up workbench is now completed and really nicely functional, the ‘room’ for the 737 is framed up and mostly lined, and there is now some decent lighting!

The lower part of the end wall/door is separately removable for access.First flight, and everything works!On the way to ParisIn lieu of an EFIS panel I have critical controls mapped to spare buttons on the yoke; messy, but functional!Nigel’s donation: A seat made from plans on the internet, with cushions from a sim upgrade at workFinals for Brunswick in Maine, formerly a Naval Air Station
