Well #4 being a seaplane will be named after a seabird' date=' any ideas Barry?[/quote']*** Duncan,this one is haunting me,I have seen it before,must try and crack this one,Kiwi certainly knows how to keep us on our toes !
*** This amazing piece of metalmungery was built by Tom Gillespie in 1999 in San Diego,the pseudo flying machine was exhibited at the 1999 Paris air show and fooled onlookers by actually taxying out to the end of the runway and vanishing the other end still not airborne ! the Citroen news Vol 8 No.4 carried details of her,the previous year the same car was shown at Paris as a pink 2CV complete with attached trailer in the shape of a pram,someone has a wild and mischevious sense of humour.Wotsthisthen? Just curious...
I would say that #30 is the Avro Athena' date=' a competitor to the Balliol which was preferred by the RAF.[/quote']*** Correct,17 ordered for the R.A.F ,17 scrapped overnight including all instrumentation and engines,the Balliol was favoured but somehow 17 Athena's had been delivered meanwhile,all evidence of them was destroyed,what a waste of tax payers money,it was hushed up as usual.
#10 (was #258) IS Czech ' date=' not Dutch, it is a Praga E-51. What happened to the "thumbs" ?[/quote']*** I dont know Duncan,seems to be a technical glitch at the moment as they are all missing ? perhaps John can help here ?
Yippee had a call from Bill' date=' his twin-hull streamliner is a Bleriot 125[/quote']*** Great artwork Duncan,do you have any more like this ? :bravo: for Bill Barnes.
