Nǐ hǎo, my reader friend, good morning. Whether piloted by a child or a master, kites fascinate. Multiform and found all over the world, these flying machines have their origins in the intense interest in flight of a certain / small part of humanity – a fascination which goes back centuries and centuries. The terms certain and small seem appropriate to me because, at all times, the vast majority of people on this Earth were / are too busy hunting albertaceratops while avoiding the charming

How is life, my reading friend? The Sun is shining outside and I find myself thinking about a distant time, the late 1960s or the early 1970s. I remembered, for the first time in ages, a class presentation on aircraft modelling. I know, I know, I was a nerd. Oh, joy. Having at this time both hands on the steering wheel, I wish to launch our vehicle in a passionate quest for the distant origins of aircraft modelling in Canada / Québec. Interest in the fabrication of scale models capable of flight

Once upon a time, my reading friend, yours truly came across a photograph in the May 1960 issue of the British monthly magazine Air Pictorial. I liked this photograph and promptly decided to pontificate about it at a later date. This day has now arrived. Lucky you. The caption of said photograph read as follows, by the way:
Five men, suited in their flight gear, walk towards the camera with a bomber airplane, facing forward and to the right, in the background.

Ahoj, my reading friend, hello. It is, as always, a pleasure to welcome you to the wonderful world of aviation and space. Quick question. Do you know what homebuilding is? (Hello, SB!) Yes, you are correct. The term homebuilding refers to the construction of aircraft by individuals working at home using plans or kits more or less ready to be assembled. Does this mean that this week’s topic of our intergalactically-read blog / bulletin / thingee has to do with homebuilding, you ask? Yes, it does

Welcome, my reading friend, welcome. May yours truly propose that we listen to our passion for wings on this day in May? We have, after all, ignored it for some weeks. Any objections? Objection denied. The year I intend to bring to your attention being 1910, put on your time travelling goggles and take a deep breath. In mid-May of that year, a brand new Blériot Type XI, a French aeroplane type made famous by Louis Charles Joseph Blériot’s crossing of the English Channel in July 1909, a world
