Flicka reviews
Four reviews of the Flicka 20, one re-published in full here and three linked to their original publications.
Shortly after the Flicka home page passed to its current keepers, one of the items on the to-do list was a Flicka review links page. Several Flicka owners had asked for one — and for permission to re-publish individual reviews here when the original publication was amenable.
John Vigor's review for Good Old Boat was the standout candidate. Good Old Boat were generous with permissions and forwarded the photographs and text — that review is included in full below. The other three are linked through to their original homes.
