I The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 29,1962 19 •v v: on tens /•%: ■jy ■ ; , v 1 xil'i- ^ ' f ', •- fè; M Ipgr Austin Stephens' private air force includes a Grumman Widgeon, Grumman Skyrocket, Percival Mew Gull, Stinson Reliant, and DeHavilland Tiger Moth. Hiey all fit quite easily into the basement of his Bowmanville home, since they're scale models of the real planes. The DeHavilland DH 82 or Tiger Moth is his latest project. Built mainly from balsa wood, it is an exact 1/8 model of the real McCoy. Mr. Stephens begins his work with thorough research on an aircraft, including the study of plans, manuals and magazine articles. He knows, for example, that the full-size Tiger Moth was built from aluminum tubing with a linen covering. The first machine was constructed in 1933 and Tiger Moths were used for training flyers of the Second World War. Fledgling pilots received their Basic instruction on these biplanes, before receiving advanced training on Harvard». "They were then and still are a substantial plane," said Mr. Stephens in describing the Tiger Moth. It took him three years to build this model, working on the project in his spare time. He has now completed an exact reproduction of the framework of the aircraft; all that remains to be done is to place a covering called "solar film" over the completed frame. The final phase will be the addition of details such as insignia and registration numbers. Mr. Stephens builds his models entirely by hand, using no power tools. Each part is reproduced as a cardboard cut-out which is then used as a pattern for the balsa wood piece. He uses a razor for the cutting, and many materials in his models are recycled. For example, he has used dried up ball point pen cartridges to make landing gear and he has used beads for bearings. Scrap wood that is not used in one model usually finds its way into another aircraft. When his, Tiger Moth is complete, he will place it on exhibit at the air museum of Paddy's Market Under New Management Taunton Road, Hampton Used Furniture and Appliances OPEN Tun. to Set. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 263-8369 CORPORATION OFTHETOWNOF NEWCASTLE NOTICE OF HIGHWAY CLOSING TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, at a Council meeting to be held at the Council Chambers, Police Building, Bowmanville, Ontario, on Monday, the 18th day of October, 1982, at the hour of 9:30 o'clock in the fore noon, propose to pass a by-law to stop up and close and to authorize the sale of all that portion of the original side line road allowance between Lots Sixteen (16) and Seventeen (17) in the Fourth Concession of the Geographic Township of Darlington, former County of Durham, designated as Part One (1) according to Plan 10R-1466, more particularly described as follows: - ALL AND SINGULAR that certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the Town of Newcastle, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, Province of Ontario, and being composed of all that portion of the original side line road allowance between Lots Sixteen (16) and 1 Seventeen (17) in the Fourth Concession of the Geographic Township of Darlington, former County of Durham,' more particularly particularly designated as Part One (1) according to Plan 10R-1466, deposited in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of Newcastle (No. 10) on April 26,1982.
