Many thanks for this wonderful aircraft! I'll be flying her tonight in my CFS2WWI install.
 
Many thanks for your nice comments, and many thanks too to Stephen for his allowance :encouragement:

I haven't gotten to creating a WWI install yet, so have not commented on many of your recent works, but could not hold my tongue on this, outstanding work Westfront, your recent work has me gathering things together for a WWI install. Can't wait to fly this strange yet beautiful looking bird.
