I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!

Thanks everyone for the recent feedback!  Our project has been a dormant the past few months as my brother and I have decided to start a little scale-modeling company focus on WW1.  We're aiming to get back to building our plane soon.

LOL, so my brother and I are still obsessing about bring this rare aero to life, even though we haven't put any paint to plastic in a while.  Our latest experiment has been with using AI to convert still pictures into motion.  So we chose this interesting image of a camouflaged Wight Navyplane about to undergo the slinging process to hoist it aboard HMS Ark Royal:



Big learning curve ahead as our little AI-generated 5-second 'film' doesn't quite get it right... or perhaps the airman involved has superhuman strength?!  Video link here: https://jmp.sh/s/PikvPKeyZDFAfl7tQXv9.  It's still fascinating fledgling tech tho!
