Barnstorming Acts/Flying Circuses
Hi everyone,
To cut a long story short, I am looking to get a vintage light haulage trailer signwritten for towing behind a road haulage traction engine to carry supplies, and being an aviation enthusiast I was was hoping to make it aircraft related.
My first thought was a turn of the century aeroplane builder, such as A.V.Roe & Co., or the Bristol Aeroplane Company, to look like a parts delivery trailer. Then I thought one better, and in the way that a lot of showman's steam engines haul travelling fairgrounds, I could do [mat777's real name]'s Fabulous Flying Circus or similar.
However, being a pedantic sod I would like to check beforehand if any period flying circuses or barnstormers ever had ground-based support vehicles, or did they carry all they needed in their aircraft?
Thanks,
Matt
