Andrew’s nietopertz (eagle eared bat)

Andrew Tubb sent me these photographs of what I thought was a Fauvel flying wing, but it turns out to be a Polish design by the Bielska company, more recognisably famous as the manufacturer of the Pirat and Jantar. The model is 100” span and 1/6th scale.—Ed.

		The flying wing movement was at its peak in the 1930s and produced some elegant designs. The bottle of ailiphatic gives some scale to the structure.
