| Anne Smallman College Park, MD | The College Park Aviation Museum in College Park, Maryland has recently added a reproduction Bleriot XI to our gallery! The type XI aeroplane was constructed in our restoration shop over the course of the past 18 months, from Rozendaal's drawings orig. published in 1912. I can send a digital image for inclusion on your site, if you'll permit. Thanks!
