RAF Leuchers by any chance? I know it well, nice jet there by the way. yes these are very good second attempts delboy, they have the basic looks of decent flies and will catch fish, just need to work at your proportions a bit but you should be very happy with those.

not bad for a second batch should catch fish,the 8th one the thorax cover seems to be a good way along the hook shank you can cure that by getting some longshank hooks.you know what they say "practice makes perfect"

Not bad at all. Just need to add some more coats of varnish on those buzzers.

They are good for your second attempt. Like everything, practice, practice.

DelBoy if that is only your second attempt at fly tying you are most DEFINITELY going the right way! Mine don't look much better and I won't admit how long I've been at it!
