Flyingboat at Woodvale

I enjoyed Woodvale as usual, though for a Northern lad twas a bit warm.

Anyone here know something about that very nice three engine flying boat? That is one I would like to see at Loch Inch in September.

Funny colour of grass they have down there, a fawn shade, ours is the more normal green

Scylla was a landplane Barry, a variation of the Short "Kent" flyingboat. Bob have you a sideview of the Woodvale model ? I see Richard Crapp`s "Swordfish" in the background, is the tri-motor his I wonder. He is a keen waterplaner.

This is the sort of model Dr Jeremy Shaw used to fly ? he loved seaplanes and flying boats.
I like that three engine layout,we need to identify this one.

Been doing a bit of sluething, found the registration on the tri-motor G-EBVG , so go to it. Got a flying picture of it in www.southportreporter.com You better hurry as it is in "this weeks news" column and presumably gets changed weekly. For those that think the Woodvale Rally is only a model `plane show have a look. If the wife hates them this is the one you CAN take her and the kids to, plenty of interesting non plane things to keep them happy.
