Hi Dave
Many thanks for the reply, and quite rightly sad to hear of the passing of the 'Breezy's' builder.
I have since posting my original post done some internet research, regarding Breezy, and found some really interesting video footage of the real deal.
It was originally designed and built by three guys and designated the RLU-1 by Charles Roloff, Carl Unger, and Bob Liposkyand sold as a kit of chrome moly tubes, apparently over 1000 plans/kits were sold. One very funny part of it's life was when Carl Unger landed in a field, unknown to him near to a nudist colony, when all of a sudden a lady appeared wearing nothing but some sandals, she asked if she could have a ride in it, and having got approval from Carl Unger had a ride in it, apparently this was the very first passenger for this aeroplane.
Pity the 'Comet' is away in the states but at least it shows off some of the best of British.
Once again thanks for the reply
