One of the joyful memories of my childhood was found in the building of the old "stick" model tissue covered rubber band powered airplanes. One of the airplanes I remember building was the Luscombe "Silvaire," a beautiful top wing monoplane with aluminum skin. Here's a photo of the factory at Mercer airport with Luscombe guys assembling the real thing.

Tom, may we use the photo in this post in our bi-monthly Luscombe newsletter? Our publication is the Luscombe Courant, and we are one of two national associations for this type aircraft. (Yes the planes are still flying!) Our website is www.luscombe-cla.org, and you can email me at mculver at extencia dot com.
Thanks!
Mike
