Some progress today and that will be it for the week I think. Morfields re the eye tomorrow (30 mins combined with nurse and doctor - probably- and 2/3 hours sitting around). Friday is household doo-dahs day and then I want to clear the decks a bit so I can start on my BoB build No 1 on Sunday. So these 3 will drift in and out of bench space over the next week or so.
Defiant has had her transfers completed. In the end I just went with the individual aircraft code as she didn't look right with squadron codes for some reason.
