If I remember rightly, the late John Jordan was involved in the Wallace project. Is the fuselage not on display at Old Warden?
Ben. If you want to hear what the Heston racer might have sounded like, try this link. Pure music!!

Yes the fuselage frame & tail feathers are at OW, & have been on display there for a number of years.
I wish that Skysport had been able to find a backer for the Racer, they would have made a fantastic job of her, & what a sight “& sound” she would have made.
