After the War my father worked at the David Taylor model basin in Wash. D. c. Here sre some photo Graphs of a project he worked on.

Also I was wondering if anyone can identify the biplane or the small plane pictured here.

An Airplane is just a collection of spare parts flying in close formation in relation to each other.

An actual jet biplane?  :o   :wub:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

See here for a real world one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_M-15_Belphegor

Mind you, Batman's Dad's version is a lot prettier, but then so is a house brick!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
