In an era when the Royal Air Force had
many times more aircraft than today
and when it daily faced a ‘cold war’
enemy across the West German border,
here’s what is was like on a Canberra
squadron. Flying Officer STU ROBINSON
was one of them.

ON THE
COVER
Chris Golds’ 84” wingspan, 1:9 scale English Electric Canberra B(I)8 is a challenging
‘build’ of a scale model designed for the equally challenging power source of electric
ducted fan propulsion… and a twin engine too! It’s something of a learning curve in
construction methods and, once completed, a very satisfying achievement

The paper used on this title is from

The full-size Dewoitine D.510. It did reach
squadron service.
John Carpenter’s model of the D.510.
listed in the Aeromodeller Plans Catalogue
and I believe it actually appeared in long
since departed
Model Aircraft
magazine.
Can anyone out there help John locate
a copy of that drawing?
Far more obscure, almost to the point of
oblivion and also of French origin, was the
Gordou-Leseurre 482,
that preceded the
D.510 by some years and which faced the
same challenges to provide the required
performance. This neat little gull-wing type
that also aspired to equip Armee de L’Aire
‘Chasseur’ squadrons, is the subject of our
full size free plan feature this month. Only
one was ever built.
Though the plans are presented only
as a lightweight, electric powered free
flighter, the bones are there for conversion
to heavier R/C electric or even for rubber
power.
As I write, model flying is, at last,
UNLOCKED … time to get in some flying
practice. STAY SAFE.
F
lying scale models of ultra
mainstream aircraft can, in some
respects be regarded as a great
big yawn – although that’s a
matter of personal preference and
the level of craftsmanship often to be
admired surely transcends such constant
repetition. There is always much to learn
from fellow modellers’ creativity and the
way they may have gone about building
a particular model.
However, for every ‘modelled-to-death’
mainstream subject, there is a galaxy of
lesser known, yet interesting aircraft all
of which have their own tale to tell,. that
have drifted, often into the outer reaches
of aviation obscurity.
One example perhaps midway to
those outer reaches might be the
French
Dewoitine 510,
a mid-1930s fighter
type that straddled the time between
the wind-in-the wire biplanes and the
subsequent sleek retracting-undercarriage
monoplanes of WW2 which delivered the
performance that immediately preceding
fighter designs sought to provide without
the engine power, the aerodynamics, or
advances in structural design that were
needed.
Results were sometimes gawky in
appearance, so ‘ugly they were beautiful’,
a look that caught the attention of John
Carpenter who recently sent me a picture
of his model of the D.510, shown here
together with a picture of the full size
aircraft. John had been chasing a decent
scale drawing of the type.
One was indeed recorded in the old
Aeromodeller Plans Service
records
list of I which have a very tatty
copy that shows the Dewoitine
D.510 as scale drawing No.

STILL FLYING AFTER ALL
THOSE YEARS
Our construction feature in May issue for
the de Havilland DH 60 prompted a note
from Don Harvey who built the prototype
model, to say that it is still flying and in as
good shape as ever, still flown at events
like the
ModelAir
scale weekend at old
Warden. It’s gone through three or four
sets of radio gear, but
the Laser 100 is the
original.
Wonder
how many
more years
the Moth
has left
in it?
