price; Trey follow-on'd that he also enjoyed the film, it's worth seeing and
they got a lot of it right

interesting & that the night sky there was spectacular and worth the whole

worth slogging thru – worth BASFA auction price & reviewed John Darly's
'Dalek Building Workshop Manual' as very well built and will be useful to
