I Googled that Windsock publication yesterday and found a decimal Strutter!
Greetings Noyade - or can I shorten that to Ade ?
Indeed Noyade - and if you actually read through the book you will find both 1.5 Strutter and 'Strutter' both used many times in the text ,both are equally correct as an unofficial name.
HNY to you as well

I am a little puzzled why some folks have been getting so aereated by the 'Strutter' name - it makes absolutely no difference to me.
As I posted previously the whole scottish project was initiated by the Museum of Flight at East Fortune,these guys have done thousands of manhours building this lovely replica and there is a reasonable chance they might have had a glance at some historical documents or even talked to ex WW1 crews etc
They are not exactly armchair historians or keyboard warriors.
