Here are three interesting shots - well I think they are although Cees won't as they are a bit off topic - from the December 1962 issue of MAN. They are from an article about Ed's trip to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in April of that year. That box looks familiar.

Sorry to be referring to post #298 after several days, but are you sure of the April 1962 date? If that's the case, then Ed would be traveling the world promoting R/C pattern and the Taurus BEFORE he won the '62 Nats, which was what made the Taurus well-known.
I suppose that as 1960 world Champ, that would give him credentials enough for a trip like this, but for us in the "States", the Taurus came on the scene at the '62 NAts, and REALLY cemented Ed's fame as the leader in pattern flying for that period.
I suppose the date is correct, but it seems more "logical" in hindsight to have him tour AFTER the Taurus won the Nats and the kit was being produced. Just wanted to be absolutely sure.
