I think they were originally trying for a magazine rack, but it got out of hand.

Got to admire the craftsmanship and the patience.

It's beautifully done

You can see why they called them "kites"!

"With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings"

Hats off to anyone who voluntarily went up in one of those ...

... mad as fsn the lot of 'em

That's a real labour of love isn't it ?
But.......Seeing as even modern planes scare the poo out of me .....there's no way you'd get me up in that.

Not wishing to make your point, I was thinking it would be great to go up in one of those. I fancy the nose gunner position if anyone's offering.

The only plane that really scares me is the Spad A2, where the pilot and gunner were separated by the prop.

Yes, yes indeed...that's 'prop'erly (haha....shoot me now for the bad pun) scary 

[Hertsblue]

That's terrifying on so many levels.
