ANNOUNCEMENT
PLANES THAT FLY •
MADE BY HULLETT BOY
During the war Huron county was
one of the important air training
centres of the Dominion, and it is not •
surprising that many of the young
people are interested in miniature '
aircraft. Few have advanced as far, ,
however, in the art of building tete
little machines, as Bob Irwin, soil of
Mr, and NIrs. Bert Irwin, of the Huron
Highway west, who for the past eight! •
years has been building all kinds of,
model- and miniature planes that.,
really fly.
The planes include little scale solid
models, five inches long, for desk or-
nanents, and range up to gliders, fly-
ing wings equipped with rockets- or
jets, dozens of different kinds of reg-
ular planes equipped with rubber
bands or diminutive gas engines, The
larger planes have a wing spread of
many feet, the largest being fifteen
feet across.
Bob was,: t very definite just how
he got started -building planes, but he
knew it was eight years ago. The
planes Perhaps were not ascomplicat-
ed se the ones he builds now, but
there was a lot of detail work about
them. There isn't such a thing as a
simple plane.
The tools which Bob uses in his
work are just ordinary small tools,
including screwdrivers. III• slakes a

old hacksaw blades. f SEASON'S GREETINGS
