Hi LNS
THe Boxkite and Avro Triplane were pure nostalgia last weekend at OW.
The Demoiselle is in the reserve store at the RAF museum - the dinky little French machine with - it is rumoured - a max pilot weight of 7st (a slightly-built young lady flew it in the flm - name escapes me). It was looking pretty sorry for itself whern I saw it last year (like a few of the other 'exhibits'...). It was all in bits. No engine. didn't see the wings anywhere.
Wouldn't it be great if a/ the Antoinette could join the Edwardians at OW.
All of The Collectons edwardians flew. The Bleriot was wonderful!(THey even got the Lymne Trials English Electric Wren up to 50ft!) It is widely accepted that the last show was the best ever - I mean ever.
I haven't corrected my spealin because as soon as I try to do this I invariably lose the entire post. Why is this? It doesn't happen always but just enough to be annoying.
