On the 31st May 1920, Bert Hinkler flew his Avro Baby, from Croydon to Turin, on his way to Australia. The Italian Government refused him permission to fly further East, and demanded he return to England.
This was the first flight between the two cities, and more records were to follow.

Model :Ladndad paper plane
Scale :1/48
Finish : Blured prop, removed plinth, Grey Scaled and 35% sound

Fantastic - if you hadn't told me I would have thought this was a real life photo rather than a model.

If thats a paper plane, then I am seriously impressed as the picture is so real.

I had to do a double-take when I read "paper airplane" thinking it was a Rafa ™ post.

Splendid!!
