Re: Len Rawle

Dear me, two founder members passing in the same week… Jeremy’s contribution to the LMA is unsurpassed and we all owe a debt of gratitude to him. Together with the late Brian Spoor, he was fearless in advancing the cause of our Association when there was little support in the modelling community for...

RIP Len, a grand LMA founder member, Committee member & one of the original Board of Guardians. The last time we met was several years ago at Cosford and, as he knew of my interest in Theatre Organs, presented me with a complementary CD of one of his recitals. Condolences to Richard & the Fa...

I would very much urge cau...

Re: MORE SAD NEWS

Yes, Colin had been a staunch supporter of the LMA and he deserves a medal for his exceptional efforts for the ATC, despite being in poor health for many years. He was a good friend of mine and I always enjoyed our conversations as he ‘kept guard’ on the pilot’s entrance at shows. He joined us at Lo...
