Ptmvarsityfan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Very surprising, I assume this is from the pre-first world war era - the most neglected period in aircraft modelling! Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) This kind of wing can actually fly very nicely. I made a flying model many years ago. Cinema and Edwardian aviation fans may recall that a biplane version features in Their Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, in a non-flying replica form (well, they flew it on wires) Edited October 11, 2019 by Work In Progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 There is or was a replica built at Shoreham Airport some years ago. Some connection with Shoreham somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That would look good in pre-Battle of Britain markings, from the time when all sorts of strange items were being dragged out of the woodwork to repel the impending invasion ... (Yes, I know it's Edwardian, but the first coffee hasn't kicked in yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, I know it's Edwardian, but the first coffee hasn't kicked in yet!) Well, I could see some "alt history" tale making use of it. Say it was acquired by some "idiosyncratic" English nobleman. Then, come those dark days of 1940, his son - a fine gent who inherited his father's propensity for "idiosyncratic" behavior - discovers the plane all nicely stored away in the family's castle. And wanting to do his part in defending the British Isles, the lad dusts it off, finds a spare Bren Gun or two, and takes to the skies with it after having first suitably painted his mount to make it clear which side he was taking to the skies for. And the rest, as they say, is history... 11 hours ago, Mike said: Awesomely stupid-looking. A.k.a. I want one Hah! Agreed! On all points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I would have thought that "idiosyncratic English nobleman" was a tautology... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
