Young Man with Model Aeroplanes

Scanned from a negative circa 1950
A young man posing with model aeroplanes at the White Rose gas station
I've been able to determine that this was the Schlueter's Service Station in Bridgeport, Ont
Out of curiosity I decided to check out the serial number shown on the model Gloster Gladiator biplane K-6131. The original was an aircraft that flew with 72 Sqn RAF that was damaged beyond repair when it made a forced landing as a result of the pilot getting lost and running out of fuel, this occurred in 1938.


other sizes: small medium original auto
