Great news on the big C front mate .... stay that way my friend .

Like the photos of the CG boats , they are impressive looking craft . Devilish clever these CG guys , they turned that Harbour Patrol Boat into a

The programme that links the photographs is so easy to use, but they must be taken at the same time and from the same place.
