BTW, I looked at buying the Arrow Active that's pictured in the book.
It's the only one in the world and was for sale years ago, in flying
condition, for about $5,000 US! I think it ended up at Shuttleworth
where it belongs.
Hopefully some Nigel won't plant it in a "watch this!" moment.

Here it is, if this is the same one. Been rebuilt, if it is.

It's the only one. I think two were built. One with a radial, I think, but
someone crashed it and this one is the only one in the world. Funny looking
little thing. Cool looking in a funky kind of way. It's suppsed to have
been a pretty good aerobatic airplane. I think it won some competitions in
its day. Wish i'd gotten to fly it!
