It was around 13' span, was rubber powered and cost a bomb even back then. Later, in the early 1970's, he redid the plans for a 10 channel, radio control model for Ed Packard. At some point the original model was in the old Treasure Island Museum near San Francisco. I don't know what happened to it after that. Dad passed away in 1975. I grew up with that model and never made a model airplane - that thing scared the hell outta me with all it's parts, putting me off the things for life :-) My father, Bob Hawkins, did drawings and one model for Cleveland Models, back in the late 1930’s.

I am seeking information and photos of Mark "Tex" Walker that was a pilot aboard the aircraft. I have been actively researching the event for over ten years now and have physically stood on the spot where the missing passengers and crew were buried. My first blog (is a bit rough but getting there) is located at www.lostclipper.com. Feel free to sign up for new posts. Warm regards, Guy Greetings Everyone,

On the left side, you see lines to various aspects of M-130s and S-42s. Also some of the Japanese efforts. You can contact me though my website. Cheers! Jamie Elmer,

Do you btw have the picture of arrival @ Honolulu 1st flight with "Noonan" 2nd fr.right , this being controversial , it would be somebody else of same appearance ? H.
