Skyking Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hi John, Check with the Old Rhienbeck Aerodrome. They have an original Bleriot in flying condition, although I think it's a Bleriot IX, but they should be able to provide reference material. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peebeep Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 You could also check out the Shuttleworth Collection, they have a 1909 Bleriot. Go to Shuttleworth . Peebeep Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davamoplanes Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 The owner of the two type's you see here, is Jean Baptiste Sallis, a old timer collector in France, they are based on a airfield outside Paris, know as La ferté Alais. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
