The Harvard was trying to be a Vega IIRC, not a Gee Bee (not in the race...)

Not a bad effort considering the budget etc. Acting a bit wooden, but a good idea, and the aircraft were'nt bad. The Anson pretended to be a Boeing 247 (Race 57) and a Stearman acting for a Fairy Fox of Ray 'Battler' Parer. You can see footage of the real race at (NB CP - as far as I am aware, Pathe is a Free site, with free downloads - trust that's OK.)

Cheers
