My thoughts exactly - they are colourful pretty little things aren't they? (especially the Hawker designs). The one bi-plane I really like and would like to one day scratch build in a large scale is the Martinsyde F.4 Buzzard.

I had to look that one up Derek, not exactly the sleek shark-like profile of a Fury but lots of character I’m sure.

Indeed Max; the F.4 Buzzard was very much top dog at the end of WW 1 in terms of performance, but just too late to see any widespread service by the end the war, whereas the Hawker Fury made into WW II! (although the Finnish Air Force - which is the one I would make - retired theirs in 1939!).

Have a great flight Max, but don’t forget to check out for that Hun in the sun!

PS: That Eau du Nil colour is just so attractive, and the name! Just a petit morceau of French!

Hi Max, so if I understand correctly you are going to White Waltham.
So grand fou, what flight time did you choose? 30 min? 45 min? 65 min?
I'd like to say I'm not jealous but then that would be a huge lie!
Enjoy every moment!

NB: I'm going to leave the hurricaneheritage web page up long enough on my computer for my wife to accidentally click on it...or almost!

 

Yeah baby, yeah !
