Actually some of the things in there make you wonder....
the prototype Pioneer that appears to be powered by a Gypsy?

And the thing which looks like a Bugatti racer -- Keith Paine spotted it as a Planet Satelitte it flew once at Blackbushe and broke its back
it was made from Magnesium alloy.


also i was never aware that there was both a Vega and a trimotor on the UK Register.

I don't think the Type F ever flew - no-one could figure out how to get in! :hide:
