This is my friend of a few years now, Geoff Reichelt, a young man living on the Gold Coast Australia.  His father was a Sunderland pilot for the RAAF.  Geoff is an incredibly skilled model maker and a really nice bloke.  He has made many aircraft including a Sunderland flying replica with a 12 foot wingspan.

Recently Geoff had the honor of being flown to the QANTAS Founders' Outback Museum at Longreach, Queensland, Australia.  He built a full sized DH61 "Giant Moth" non-flying Replica.  This replica was installed in the original QANTAS hangar at Longreach as of Easter 2002.

 

Here's Geoff in his workshop.
