The Raven.
Richard Granger says "A & DB Model have just re-kitted the old FROG Junior and Senior series,
together with the Skyleada Jetex 100 and 50 kits.
A kit that I have built instead of putting in store for that mythical rainy day !
It actually flies remarkably well ! Just goes to show, you can't beat the old 'uns.."

Look, it doesn't always rain on Nottingham Club members, seen here enjoying the 2007 National Championships.

The Granger Archaeopteryx. Richard Granger is restoring this full size aircraft to flying condition with the assistance of Rob Millinship.
Until recently this aircraft, which was built and flown by Richard's father and uncle, was on display at the Shuttleworth Museum (Old Warden).

A superb 8ft radio model of the Archaeopteryx has been built by Dick van Mourik in Holland. From original drawings and photos that Richard sent him. It has made several flights without mishap including loops and stall turns.
