Hope that chapter 36 comes along soon!
Meanwhile an interesting note on a blog on NZ civil aircraft today.
That is the 60th anniversary of the first flight of a Druine Turbulent in New Zealand. The first Turbulent flight took place on 8 December 1959 when ZK-BWE first flew at Palmerston North, flown by Syd Jensen. This was the start of the sport flying movement in New Zealand and which has resulted in over 1500 sport aircraft being registered over the intervening 60 years (and that number does not include the many hundreds of tube and fabric microlights).
