Thanks Saso.
On my 1935 prototype Slingsby Kirby Kirby Kite 1 rebuild we are using aerodux on the spars and other parts that cannot be seen. But on the plywood surface we are using Aerolite. So it should look a bit more like when it was originaly with Casein glue.

Last time i saw him he was at Reno trying to sell a book.

I been to Reno twice as I have always wanted to god since 1970, when I looked at the photo’s in the Control Column magzine. I get bored with airdisplay’s in England unless im working at one. It wasn’t nice to see Galloping Ghost crash. I hope I never see a crash again. But I have seen a few over the years over here. I am hopeing to go to Reno next year. To say thank you to a few people that looked after me, when I was in shock after the crash. I cant afford the trip this year,other wise I would go.
Dave
The first aircraft in the photo looks more like a Planette, than a Drone to me.
Dave
Good programme. Nice to see a wooden glider being built. But my father did spot a big Knot in the wood used for the spar!
Dave
Well done Ben. Next thing you will want is a Avro 504k. 😀
Dave
Go to Reno. They look good racing. :diablo:
Dave
Yes it is the Scud from Brooklands. It was taken to the Long Mynd by Peter Hardman the editor of the Vintage Glider Club News. It was built by the late Mike Beach. It was only ever hopped, due to C of G problems.

My old school teacher, later friend never flew Anson’s. He trained on Airspeed Oxford’s. He then went on to fly Wellington’s in the Middle East. Then Dakota’s in the Far East.
Dave
I would love to see a Gloster Gladiator fly over the Grand Harbour. I would drop all my work all my work if this was to happen.
Dave
Saw a Jet Provost just after 9am flying low near Wicken Bucks.

The Shuttleworth SG38 is a Eon 7 primary (Eton). It now fly’s with a new rudder, that I rebuilt and covered with out the swastika.
Dave
Looking good. Keep going.
Dave
That was the Kite 2, Not the Kite 1. The Kite 2 is a very different glider.
Thanks
Dave
