Construction and painting underway.

More parts stuck together.
The large screen on the "joystick" is a shield to keep oil off the pilot - every convenience included!

Looking very nice.

Rigging, turn buckles still to be added and painted.

Next it will be the Bristol Boxkite 1910. A copy of the Henri Farman, but had more refined metal fittings. It was generally better built than the French produced Farman.
This was the Bristol and Colonial  Aeroplane Company.
It should really be called The Bristol Standard Biplane.

The Handasyde looks great even if it does look like the pilots sat in a winged bathtub!! Lots of rigging and struts to keep you occupied with the Boxkite.

Finished.

Excellently finished there Dave. The Boxkite should be  good.

Parts constructed on a template.

Hi Zak,
Keep 'em coming, they all look good.

Looking good so far.

More progress on the wings and tail plane.
Large Aluminium plate courtesy of the Brooklands Road Ship Yard. Or Haddocks den.

Tricky.

Normal service will resume when Sandra is better after her hip operation.

Hi Zak,
Hope that she gets back to her old self soon and she can then keep you under control...!
