To Tony Elmore, or someone else...

from the UK, who might know something about the D.C. Bipe, a small, almost ready to fly kit that came complete with a Super Merlin Diesel. It was manufactured by the Davies Charlton Company, on the Isle of Man. Looks like something from the late '50s/early '60s.

Yesterday, I found a NIB one, complete with cement and paint even, lacking only the motor. Even comes with handle and lines.

Whoa, Currell, you lucky dawg! I have NO idea what you've got, but it sounds really COOL! I just love old stuff!

Tim: I got it at the London Swap. Currell

Currell, what London Swap? Why wasn't I there?

Bit far to go Ian - London Township Michigan!

Tony

PS I have a 1930's Michigan brand name Dobro Currell!

Currell,
I'll ask my dad if he remembers this. He was a big fan of DC stuff, but I think it was engines only for him.

Nice to know your still around Jonathan - how's the kiddie doing - got him on the handle yet?

Exactly, and thanks!

That's what the box top looks like!

Everything is untouched, and New In The Box. Except the motor isn't there.

Didn't know that the Isle of Man was a hotbed of CL manufacturing. But live and learn.

Here's an interesting article on Allbon/DC history:

Thanks, Tony. Currell
