Reading the news about the French armed forces, you had a greater chance of the Bleriot (?) being in a more serviceable state than the Mirage  ;D

Just found out how Carlson manages the displays he does with his Bleriots...


50hp rotaries!


Old Warden's Bleriot XI only has a 24hp Anzani!

The Shuttleworth/Old Warden example used to turn (infact, it used to do full circuits), but it force landed in a cabbage patch (on the downwind leg) in the mid 70s (an aging 24hp is fairly marginal!), and has recently (for the last 30 odd years) been confined to straight lines! ;D
