Hello here is my last model mounted, the Gavia's Bristol Scout :
my first idea was to show the british national marks with the red and white roundels and the union jack in the frame.
then loocking for more information about the plane in the web, I smatch with the web site of the Bremner brthers, wich were rebuilding their grand dad plane, the 1264 who flew int greece in the late 1915.
in this blog , you can fallow all thje built which is amazing :
https://bristolscout.wordpress.com/I enter in contact with David and he send me all kind of inforation, a real treasure !
Thanks david, it have been a pleasure to fallow your adventure !!!
the project was pretty enough to decide me to represent this plane...
the replic of the 1264 now flies , and it is wonderful !
Let me present you Donald Bremner of the RNAS 2wing .
and here is his plane :
bye bye my union Jack and my red and white roundels...
Anyway the 1916 taken pics show that the new three colors roundels had inverted colors, which give it an interest …
another strange thing, in the cross and cockade n° 4 vol 5 , look what Donald tell us !
my god !
I represent the fabric in the propoeller of course, as David and Rick did in the new 1264...
here is a propeller it by his own bullet :
Well here are the pics :
Danold was a tall man, he was 6ft 3in (1,90m) this figurine represent the right size...
speaking about the french who were in Thassos with them , Donald says :
They chief pilot was a man called Constantini, who was a very famous racing motor driver and always used to call me « le grand pilote du petit bristol »
using the fantastic plans David gave me I did a scout frame too but I have not finish it...
well that's all folks !
