Taking shape Del.....glad you are getting things back on course. There is a good archivist at Westlands who is very approachable and enthusiastic. He just sent over some information on the Westland Widgeon (Parasol Monoplane) for me along with colour schemes, photos etc for a R/C flying model I will hopefully be building in the Autumn as a prototype build for a magazine designer in CAD.

R/C scale electric models are my other weakness...... :roll:

If you want contact details for the Westlands chap just let me know. ;-)

Regards.

OOh a Dragonfly in BEA colours :)

I remember seeing a photo of one passing a mailbag to a Postie on a bike many many moons ago -- always wondered how he kept his hat on.


Oh yes Brian --- I asked Uncle Ted if he would put the fixed wing Widegon on his list -- Personally I would love one to putz about in :)

Well if Uncle Ted ever decides to have a stab at one...I have the 3-views here for both the MKIII and the MKIIIa (main difference was the U/C)
