We're all going on a, summer holiday...

To Wales for the day. It was quite a pleasant day, first of all, was a nice trip to Rhuddlan castle, followed by a paddle at Llandudno beach.





Pigeon holes.






Spot the crab!

Now this may sound a bit odd...

but have you ever noticed that old windows do look really quite pretty.







                                    see what I mean?

Incoming!

Which do you think is the wackiest plane that you've ever seen? Well, here, I've got a short line up of fairly weird aeronautical machines.
If you where to show this plane to an aircraft expert they
would quite happily say that it is Supermarine spitfire
which  it is. the only thing is that it is actually a 1 to 1 scale
Air fix [remove the space] model.
As made a French inventor, the flying flea was actually
insanely dangerous because of it being to top heavy.




Now, despite appearances, this is not a small helicopter but large
 kite that was used as a reconnaissance craft and pulled along
buy a submarine.
This is a bit of an odd position to put the engines on an aircraft,
but it is actually a "flying boat" and you don't want to have soggy engines. 
 
Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Hold on a moment, this looks
a little bit like a tank.' and you would be right for thinking that
because it dose look like a tank. But looks can be deceiving, look
closely at those angular corners, those aerodynamic features, and of
cause it can't fly.

contra rotation

Now I'm not the sort of person who goes around showing off, but it did take me rather a while to work out all of the mechanism related bits and bobs. And, yes, it is made of K'nex but I, personally, have never found any thing wrong with the colour yellow.
