Photo from Lindsey Smith at Geneseo
“Here ia a shot of Dave launching his twin EDF powered Avro CF100 at Geneseo 1994, a pretty rare beast in those days. It got away OK, but then the wind got it and it piled in breaking a wing. I think only Don and Doug Mc Hard over here were experimenting with EDF at that time. Dave was a great innovator. “

A note from Wally Farrell sent with these top two photos.


“Here are a couple of pics. Dave was a giant influence on me, and I believe I may have built more of his planes than anyone else (but him of course!). He had a great eye for picking out good subjects and his influence on design has been immense. He was a good friend to me, gave me great counsel and support for many years. I miss him already….
Wally”
