Australia's answer to the stealth bomber! Be afraid!

Very cool, I've been to the RAAF Point Cook back in 2003. Great place, you have a lot of neat toys.

That was great. Beautiful craftsmanship.
These 2010 pictures are of the replica Boxkite from "The Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines" now at The Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden, Beds, UK. I think it has a Continental engine.

In the movie it was passed off as a Curtiss biplane powered by a 70 h.p. Anzani engine. You just cant trust the media! -- P.S. It was piloted by the character Orvillle Newton which was played by Stewart Whitman. Anybody think I've seen it a few too many times?
