Sea Vixen and X-15 for Atom 35
Rocky Simmonds has contributed this
photo of a Jetex kit from Sebel, for the Atom 35, and asks for more information about it — a copy of an
advertisement, possibly?
Rocky writes: "A possible addition to our list of "Tailored" kits? I would put the date as 1955/56, but possibly later. The fuselage is moulded cardboard,
the wings solid sheet, all a bright green. There is no augmenter tube."
The box carries this information: 'Length 9" Span 9" Weight with empty motor ½ oz.
… Formed impregnated fibre fuselage shells'.
Rocky's enquiry has produced this second in the series from Jason P. Wilbourn. Jason writes:
"Here are pics of an X-15 kit from the same stable to get you all excited –
the pics were sent to me by Ken Butterfield, a
member of another group dedicated to building Donald Campbell Bluebird
hydroplanes."
