Richard Pearse
Centenary of Flight

There were also a number of small free-standing displays within the hangar. These were done by Hamish Cameron, also one of the SCAHC people. The displays were very well thought out and executed and are a great credit to Hamish. 

This photo shows a model from one of the displays. It had a diorama of the Pearse Monoplane flying overhead at Kitty Hawk whilst the Wright Flyer was still on the ground. This static model is based on the 1906 patent that Richard Pearse took out. A very nice model of hardwood, brass, and tissue. The lighting in the hangar, plus the reflection of the curved perspex, made it hard to capture the model on film.
