International Model Aircraft of Merton

As part of my research into No.587 AAC Sqn does anyone have any information on International Model Aircraft Ltd of Merton and the design of their winged targets?

Any help would be greatfully received.

Kind regards,

Tim

John,

Thanks for the information will look up the book as every bit of information helps. Does anyone know if they were of a metal or wooden construction? Don Evans book ‘The Long Drag’ appears to indicate they are metal.

Kind regards

Tim

There are only a few lines relating to this area in the Frog Model Aircraft history by Richard lines and Leif Hellstrom, plus three photos of the 32′ target production line which show very little of the aircraft. Of interest, as a boy I was given one of their compressed paper construction ex WD rocket (cordite) targets which was bright yellow and had a tadpole shaped fuselage and about 3 ft span.
