Re: Pic of the Day

I went through the book again this morning and there is one almost full screen picture of the sign where it does look a tiny bit yellowish, but the whole sponson looks yellowish from pollen and all the other stuff that swims on the water surface. Besides that the whole sponson doesn't look freshly p...

Re: Pic of the Day

I just checked pictures in Leo's book and I agree, the original colour looks like 'normal' white in those pictures - not yellowish at all like old english white.

Re: Donald Campbell's restored Bluebird in museum home row

No issues raised by our museum partner so that's good. Partners in what sense? Do they describe themselves as such?
