January 2024!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!       
 A hopefull  wish of Peace and Happiness for all in these turbulent times. 

40th Anniversary for CIRCA Reproductions!
It was in the spring of 1984 , Graham Lee commenced construction of the prototype Nieuport 11,  utilizing his aluminum construction technique.  Thank you to all who continue to build and fly my father's designs! Since his passing,  there were times that I wanted to just quit.   This site was moribund.   There were many personal and family challenges; and at times it was all we could do to just get a set of plans out  in the mail for someone who placed an order.   (I shall nevermore rely on postal service for plans orders but thats another story..) 

BUT:   I have continued to recieve messages of support and encouragement from builders; from folks who knew Graham.   I am grateful that many of you out there still remember him, and understood what he was "about".     He wanted to offer his designs, share his ideas,  and make flying affordable for average folks.

I've been inspired by you builders, in fact , back into participation with you!  I have a garage full of 2 projects and my only battle is to find time to get them airborne.  I hope to have more updates on C-IRCA's restoration soon. 
more to follow shortly , including  photos ; and in flight video clip; of a beautiful Nieuport 12 project up here in Canada!... SEE BELOW!  ...
