Sterling work in the highest traditions of inspired Whiffing silliness.
And the AH was just hilarious
Hardstuhl indeed!!!

I'm really glad you folks enjoyed this bit of silliness and the backstory. While the Brown Baron was entirely my creation (I even contemplated attaching a 1/72 scale roll of TP to the side of the fuse), Mr Fontaine suggested the crew chief's name. I laughed so hard at that one I had to clean iced tea off my screen afterwards.

Baron von Scheisshaus?...was he the cousin of the Baron von Kackhaus?
nice  idea...something crazy but nice

[Allan]

Oh yes Brian
I forgot to compliment you on the eyes on that plane. You've cut a little close to the bone with those eyes as I too recall seeing eyes like that loom in the bathroom mirror in the morning after a night on the tiles in my salad days.
Great stuff!!!!

Brilliant Brian - the "eyes" certainly make it look as though someones had a dodgy curry the night before  

As for multi wings - Armstrong Whitworth built a 4 winger - the FK 10 which flew in 1917 but was written off as "unsafe"and in 1920 Caproni built a nine winger ! The Ca 60 Flying Boat airline - took to the air for a short hop in 1921 before plunging into Lake Maggiore Was destroyed by fire whilst under repair

I LOVE IT! Fantabulous, my dear man! Terrific! I want one! I should talk to the foks at the AHC, see if they're keen on a full-scale replica for their displays!


Nice work bro!

BdB and the Ever Fertile Mind producing yet another treat!  


And, Glenn, many of us would be already married and thus hopeless repeat offenders.

Bri,

This plane is probably the funniest and cutest one you've built, yet!!!  

The backstory was a scream!!!!  

You're so creative!!!!!!  

Talk to you later!

Love ya,

Monoplane, biplane, triplane... would this be a fiveplane ? Quintuplane ?  

The idea in itself was excellent (monoplane, biplane, triplane... so why not five wings ?)

But the whole story is truly HI-LA-RIOUS !!!

the Brown Baron was grounded by a breakfast of extremely thick porridge

This sentence says it all!!    

Remember "a close shave", when Gromit is at the controls of a porridge-gunned fighter ?

Brian, I saw this today at the museum gift shop and thought that Revell stole the idea from you! Link

ROFL that is so hilarous  
But there's a small historical error in you history, testing of the Fünfdecker didn't take place at Johannistal but at Darmstadt airport...

Erich Hardtstuhl...I assume he comes from the same family as the prewar politician Klaus Stückengutte?
