Fairchild aircraft of the 1920’s and early 1930’s.

Terry had battled the big C some years back but I thought he'd beaten it.

That's why I worry.

Their website is still up: By Air Classique - Aircraft Models, New Zealand and World Postcards

And, although there is no Fairchild, they HAVE produced the Croyden, Dearborn, and Wichita airport facades they were working on: Scale Models3

I have sent them an email and will keep you informed if I hear anything.

Thanks Don. Much appreciated.

I contacted Terry on Facebook, told him about the continued interest in the aircraft, he will drop in when he gets an off moment

[elliott]

I presume things are well for them then. Hope so at least. Thanks Rick!

[rickstef]

He has been busy with some books, but I will let him explain that part

Thanks for the info. I believe that the beautiful little FC-2 was Pan American Grace's first plane. I try to imagine a four-hour flight on a hot day in the tropics, then a landing for fuel, and then another 100-mile-per-hour leg. Fortunately Panagra's FC-2 is hanging in the National Air and Space Museum: https://airandspace.si.edu/collectio...fairchild-fc-2

Looking forward to building one.

Yes, it would be wonderful to see the FC project complete and avialable. A recolour to represent the local rebuild is on my too-long list of projects.

Regards,
John

I also wrote to them. Al;l is well down under. Terry responded that he and Rosie are busy with many projects, including illustrating books. They still intend to bring out the Fairchild.

I also received a message from Terry. He said he will post an update soon, otherwise, as Rob said.
