More great stuff! I was wondering what these powered model aircraft actually were? Rubber band powered, 5ft span and flights of up to 560 yards! Found this as a result.

Back to R.F.Wells. The Aeroplane had him as pilot for the REO aircraft trial which hit another while taxiing. I'm wondering whether Wells would have needed some kind of pilots licence and where to look for records of that please?
