re: Opening scene: Rescued from the back shelves.

Well, the plane is not flat on the sole. It’s quite remarkably curved with a depression at the centre. I’m going to have to flatten it. I thought I might use the jointer.

I did find two stamps, one says, “Brecon school” the other is harder to read but it has two numbers, “2” and “404” and “made in London”….can’t quite make out the makers name, though.
