Build your own 747

When I was a kid I had a book written by Michael Palin & Terry Jones post Python but before Palin did Ripping Yarns. It was called Bert Fegg’s nasty book for boys & girls. [image] In it, amongst many funny pieces, was an item called Build your own 747. It described how the keen amateur constructor could readily build a full scale working 747 from some wood, chicken wire, curtains by mail order etc. I’m sure they were satirising the DIY & Hobby books of the 50’s & 60’s when making stuff for you…
