If you are reading this post I need to get some more pictures please. I have Mi 65 Type I (I believe) & Mi 66 Type II (without doubt). Both of these are used. Does someone have copies of 65 Type II (particularly so I can compare, I don't want to post the wrong image!) & 66 Type I, III & IV?

I would be really love to see a Mi 66 Type Z. At 30,000.00 Euro I don't suppose too many people have a copy!

If anybody has any of the previously listed faults, I would love to hear from you to. Pictures can be sent directly to Amy or myself & they can be added to the early posts.

I have to say that the posts with pictures certainly are a lot better than mere words.

Thanks,

Darren
