This is for all my friends ,"fellow wing nuts", in New Zealand. One of my sons dispatched this red stag about a year and a half ago. It finally arrived here in the states and now resides in my aero-plane museum. |

Lower air foil and Interplane struts are permanently attached. The aroma of epoxy molecules drift upward from the basement shop and mingle with those from the kitchen oven. Always a highlight with the "Wuffy!" |

There is a lot going on between the wings. Wind screen, Vickers gun, ammo intake and exhaust, petrol cap, cabane struts and the soon to be installed aileron control rods. Forward visibility must have been compromised. |
