Jon Ingram of Wycliffe College Cub Scout Pack based in Gloucestershire, UK prepares for their first Squirrel workshop for their Air Activities badge. The workshop was on September 26, 2009.

September 18th, Squirrel kits not received yet Here's a comment I received from Jon: "The strike here is planned next week but I learnt that a series of wildcat unofficial strikes have been happening....."

So I boxed up another order for him and sent it by Purolator service, 2 business days. The bill was $94.00CA.

September 22nd Squirrels finally arrive:

Hi Darcy,

I received the 2nd consignment today via UPS. The first bunch has not yet arrived. I will let you know as soon as they turn up. I am busy trying to sort out a visit from the BAE Spitfire on Saturday. If it flies over I will send you some footage!

A test build commences tonight with my six year old son.....

Regards
jon
