whilst idley chatting over lunch at work the question was asked could

of course i can was my reply.....so the challenge was set

weeks build time and several £ lighter.....the worlds first to my

knowledge remote controlled flying ammbulance

complete with lights and sirens...

matched a true ambulance colour....had fun holding colour charts
