KIWI BEAVERS A wonderful site being built by Graeme Mills of Australia. 
A superb established quarterly publication edited by Dan Willink. A series is underway with the complete de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver production list.

FLIGHT SIMULATION
This product is a must for all de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver flight simulation fans. I helped with the research on this product, many, many long hours on line with Andrey Tsiverenko in Novosibirsk. My only stipulation and reward was that I should be one of the virtual pilots...I got my wish.
