Keep up the great work, and interesting threads.
Happy Thanksgiving to All.

Thanks for that SAustin. Is the model you are refering to on papercraft square? When I try and go to it my anti virus blocks it as a dangerous site. Pity because it is a really interesting model.
On a more positive note I was reading about guppies and came across this site
All About Guppys
Clicking on the "Pregnant Guppy" icon at the top left and then scrolling down to the last in the list of "pictures" there are three from Fred Austin. And scrolling down to the bottom of that paper is an interesting story from Fred again. Surely your big brother.
I did not know much about the Guppy story or the whole family of aircraft. If anyone is interested, then you will really enjoy the site.
