Still with Chiswick silver paint RT222: complete with gear box and braking gear. Note also the shortness of the chassis. This was a standard design for the 3RT+ chassis. RT1947 is in the background. Rt 1947 was originally RT222
This tower is part of a furniture factory in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I wish I knew more about the history of the building. Today it is owned by RT London, but that company has only existed since 1989.
Thanks to flickr member ppwiii I know this used to be Imperial Furniture
Turner RT-14
Following his first Thompson Trophy victory in 1934, famed racing pilot Roscoe Turner contracted with the Lawrence W. Brown Aircraft Company to build a new racing aircraft. Designed by Turner and engineered by University of Minnesota professor Howard Barlow, the Turner racer was completed in mid-1936.
Known as the Laird Turner LTR-14 and later the Turner RT-14, the modified racer placed third in the 1937 Thompson Trophy event at the National Air Races and won the 1938 and 1939 contests. With this aircraft, Turner became the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy. In 1939 the aircraft was sponsored by Champion Spark Plugs and therefore carried the name “Miss Champion” on its fuselage.

I ran this for about a year. Comfy and practical but not much fun.
