Don't blow the b_ _ _ _y doors off!

Some extra information.

You may have noticed that the Tabloid has not got any ailerons, in the earlier versions lateral control was achieved by wing warping. later versions did have ailerons.
A seaplane version - The Schneider was also used.
Constructed in 1913 originally.
Production for the RFC and RNAS started in June 1914, they were single-seaters and they were used for fast scouting duties.
Sometimes they were used as light bombers.
The seaplane version was developed into the Baby.

Thank goodness, yes, I could not cope with more than one of me.
The rest of the world would struggle as well!

Well once again, something else took my fancy. I bought these two from Malcolm, so in keeping with the club ethos, they were cheap.
They are the Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator Mk1 kits. They were built straight from the box.
One finished as that at The Shuttleworth Collection has stretched sprue rigging, the other, finished as a Gloster J-8A has fine wire rigging.
Nice little kits.
My excuse, well at least they are biplanes!

The one from Airfix was 1/32 and the revel one is 1/24, so they are not the same, well I don't think so.

The brain is  MUSH - I forgot to add the photos.

Well, well, there is a surprise, I never knew you had one!
Busy as ever I see.

Quick stuff.

It was not a derogatory comment, merely a comment.
