For the diehards who continue to make lego planes, lego had some quite exceptional models of late. They included the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane, both of which appear to be no longer available.
Still around though is the Wright Flyer: http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=10124&cn=57&d=14&t=7 And recently released is the new Boeing Dreamliner: http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=10177&cn=57&d=14&t=7 I doubt they will ever produce a model of a Bergfalke 4 though : ( Anthony (Yes my brother and I had the meccano and the steam engine too. My brother did quite well in the finals of the national lego building competition once too.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Taylor Sent: Wednesday, 6 September 2006 7:32 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
