Glow plug engineMy two glow plug engines 
The two propeller one is about 30 years old
The three propeller one and the spitfire came from a junk shop in Bridlington
It cost £1 and it was in bits similer to the photo
I do have the pilot and cockpit window for it somewhere
This is roughly how it was found
Assembled without the pilot
At least 30 year old glow plug engine

You could have identified my mystery spitfire then Mike
I havent found any branding on the plane so never knew who made it 
Do you still have your Huricane Mike

I took the engine out to make a Vertical take off engine and also used it for all sorts of 'experiments'

The engine in the aircraft is a Testors MacCoy 049, they also made the airframe. It was a ready to fly from the box control line aircraft.
The second engine is a Cox Baby Bee 049, cox made a huge range of small glow motors and a range of ready to fly control line models
