| Home brew Stampe biplane.
Designed and built this model when I was a mere 15 years old,she was drawn up from a advertising brochure which had a three view of the aircraft in it,although I knew little in those days about rigging angles for biplanes she flew beautifully although only powered with a clapped out 35 size motor.
The model passed on when swopped for a vintage tinplate Hornby train set,at about that time I was building up a huge layout in the third floor of a flat ! the building was very old and with brittle wooden floorboards the noise of the engines running could be heard everywhere until I placed carpet underlay in place,such happy carefree days these were.
