Thanks for the email Nige.  I guess NZ is just a big too far away.   It would 
be fantastic to see him.   A real. achievement in a little wooden machine with 
a Limbach.    Really sad about Aussie Customs though. (But typical)
Of interest the 2.4 Limbach engine I put into the Grob 109 came from a Stemme 
S10 that flew from The UK to NZ.  (owen Truelove).  Sadly his epic effort seems 
to forgotten.
