What I particularly liked about this thread was that it contained just about every bit of solid documentation about Ed and his planes during his modeling career, (in addition to a lot of "stuff" that didn't really stand the test of time). A lot of that documentation was in the form of rare pictures. While reading something about the 1960 FIRST FAI CHAMPIONSHIP won by Ed Kazmirski, I came across a picture of Ed and the Orion I didn't remember seeing before. Please excuse the duplication if it was already placed in here somewhere, but it might be nice to see the picture again anyway.

Ed and the Orion? What I particularly liked about this thread was that it contained just about every bit of solid documentation.1960 FIRST FAI CHAMPIONSHIP won by Ed Kazmirski ?
For a long time I do have this photograph and some more of the serie in my archive. Two of these already did show up somewhere else.
After several posts, included members PIMMZ and Ustik , Kingaltair shows up with this post:

I got from Urs Leodolter the „StreilCollection“. About Mr.Streil: Mr. Streils was a Swiss business man and runs a Hobby Shop inSwitzerland. ...... Mr.Streil was a closelyfriend and fan of the Giezendanner`s and he followed them to many competitions.He was at this time an excellent photographer and took a lot of pictures. Ursgot the complete collection from Mr.Streil`s heritage, (i.e.estate?), but the pictures were in miserablecondition. The pictures were kept many years in a cellar and they arealmost (stuck) together “together glued” and “rolled”.

And a few post later he writes,

Well time to show some light!
No-one knows there is an importent person in the photograph, not even after several posts?
It’s characteristic and because more of these situations did happen in that thread and often my explanation contradicted, this also this was a reason in the past I did start my own thread.
