I remember growing up in Pacifica, Ca, on the coast. Summer vacation was Linda Mar Beach, watching surfers surf, and fishing.
I also built my first stick & tissue balsa wood airplane, a Guillow model.
I had so much fun winding up the rubber band propeller and setting if off into the coastal summer breeze off the back yard hill.
She'd crash and I would cut and dice and replace what ever was broken. Next day always a new adventure!.
That was summer vacation, such a wonderful time.
About 20 years forward I found that exact same model and purchased it.
It's been sitting in the workshop waiting to be built.
