All to be taken with a huge pinch of salt. Chaddock never published the drawings im the 60's

Whilst I agree, the firm of Model Engineering Services no longer trades. As it is sid, the Worden Mark3 exists with Heminmgwaykits but I doubt that the plans alone are available and the cost of a kit combined with the post and and packsge pus duties maybe daunting. The alternatives are many but...
