This page is being used to collect information about the history of the plane design which I call the The Hybrid Cut and Fold Swallow, because it combines elements of the Swallow with elements of the Cut and Fold Model Aeroplane. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.
