Real thing or not quite?
Certainly some amazing DIY !!
Stunning Victor model Wingspan: 17ft 4" (5.3m) !! Never mind the skill, the time and money, what about having the guts to then fly it !! One wonders at the value of such a model ....

By the same model maker Gordon Nichols .. 8 turbines this time, and it flew well, until ground control (owner) sadly made a mistake .....

can you imagine the heartbreak if you 'flew' that lot into the ground
Such a lot of effort, couldnt trust myself to fly a plane,
