Anybody else experiencing similar problems with delivery from Europe?
Every other wing I saw was £400 or more, so I might have to attempt a fibreglass repair......

Nah not possible! The French can't do anything civil!

On a more serious note, am i correct in inferring from what you say about China that all their power stations are coal fired?

If so, they could contribute hugely to the environment by switching to something less polluting!

Indeed...

I've got lots to say on this but we've sort of gone way of topic for this sub-forum so I'm signing off...
