A very interesting link, to a thread on the HJG forum, which came up on CBFS this morning. All about Widgeons and Gooses and Mallards and suchlike; great reading and lots of pics.

Ooh this is Milton Shupe territory.
Milton's Mallard is about done now, I wonder if there might be some colour photos of ZK-CVD...
