In 1948 Jim Fullarton won the Australian National Wakefield Championship. Some 50 years later colleague and long time friend, Colin Parker, built a replica of this famous model. In May 2003, Jim and Colin both now regular members of Arthur Smith's 'Ancient Aeronutz' were photographed with the replica by Prof. John Bird and Dr Russ Naughton.
