Mr. McStolly, Sir,

I distinctly recall reading something definitive regards the remanufacture of a
full-size prop for the movie.

Of course, my beloved tells me that I now have a hard time remembering what happened
last week, but to be fair, that could be simply the psychological exercise of some
hitherto buried, primeval, philosphical expedient.

Or, I might be losing my mind. Hmmm... fascinating prospect. Did I ever tell you
about the time - but I digress, I suspect yon Polsten Dave has been cleaning yon
Light Artillery Piece with too much solvent again...

Praytell, where is the Horsa?! You haven't actually taken it apart and analysed it,
have you? :-)
