Unfortunately the model above isn't mine. Note the hook is not designed at this stage, there is no drip channel round the roof edge, or any dashboard detail.
Can some kind soul resize Alwin's pictures please.
On the 2nd page (1st column) here Paul Carr tells about the Rayleigh Technical Design (RTD), company:

Completely fine with me Bob, Must admit i'm rarely on here, I've always preferred to stay on Moyboys, and don't have much input these days as nothing new comes my way nowadays. Which im not too upset about as i don't have the room at home. Still got the daughter at 28, and the spare room is out of bounds (to me anyway) as i would mess it up (with all my junk) as she calls it. Models inc. Lofts full up. Need a larger place but left it all too late now.
Least my lad's married and got his own place not far away and is settled with a first grandchild later on this year all being well.
Very interesting Marcel. As some of you know I worked for RTD and always enjoyed my time there with a great bunch of folk too.
