    Interesting to see the 211 rework. Should look more like a real 211 (sorry) in use. Still looks odd up top though.

    One of the hard things about reworking old designs like a 211 is trying to come up with something new that is genuinely better. You have to bear in mind the originals were developed over long time periods by clever people.

    In another life I'd have been really curious to get into materials, valve design and electronics with a far greater understanding than I have now.
