Today at school we built an aeroplane
There were some talented people at my old school in the 60s. One young chap
built a Violin. I was not paying attention at the time, but it looked good
at the end, maybe it was a kit or something.

of these:

I used to go and watch the Tiger Club at play with them when they used to
fly out of Fairoaks Aerodrome.
