This restored Bleriot XI is very difficult, if not impossible to steer on the ground with no tailwheel and an engine that is either on or off, with nothing in between. As a result, the old girl has to be guided and helped into place before starting a take-off run. Pictured here about to perform a very majestic, slow-motion display at this super old timers show.
