Meanwhile, Tom Sopwith owned and flew various aircraft before setting up his own company.
Here is my attempt to build one, this is a Howard-Wright Monoplane.

Well 45m + I guess!

Sopwith owned Howard-Wright Monoplane with 40 HP E.N.V Engine. Scratch build, a bit rough and ready.

Some of the straight bits are not as straight or square as they should be!

I have been unhappy with the wheels that I have produced so far, this is an attempt to produce a better wheel.

It was more BLACK!
Actually, it went fairly well and the superglue behaved for a change.
