Looks like under the circumstances, Dan at Wing Mfg made a wise decision, and that Perigee is not a plane that has enough diehard followers for a new kit to be released. It's been a long time, (a full 48 years...hard to believe...where did the time go?), and the market for vintage pattern planes is small...only large enough to support the very best known, such as the Taurus. Still, for those that know about her, she is a beautiful ship, and now the plans are available once more.

Since my last post, Helen Brett has again sent me new pictures, including one of the Nimbus 1, the only major design of Tom's that hasn't been seen yet in this thread. We'll see Nimbus 1 a little later, but first I'd like to show you another color photo of Nimbus II. At first we didn't think there were any, then we saw a ground shot of her. Now we see a very nice picture of Tom posing with Nimbus II. The picture is undated, and comes from a large negative sent by Helen. This is a rare photo; thanks for sending it to us. I'm including a black and white for comparison.
