I wonder if it is visible on Google Earth? Exactly what airstrip is
this?

Been there tried that. The field is Serene Strip. Its' coordinates are 32.9970N, 112.2723W. If I strain my eyes and use a bit imagination, I think I can see it near the north end of the runway along the eastern boundary fence.

boundary fence.

Could it be a one off HP-17 by Ken Bawden?

I don't remember any entries for HP-17 in the files, but I'll check.
The name Bawden gives me something to go on.

Thanks, Bob K.

I scanned the files for likely candidates, no joy. I found three
folders for HP-17; one kit shipment overseas (Sweden, I think) and two
others that look like they converted to HP-18.

I'd probably have to go through the whole cabinet to find a shipment
to "Bawden." I'm in the middle of Akaflieg Douglas Flat X right now,
so it will have to wait.

Thanks, Bob K.
