Hi Rod, I owned one of John's plan built jungmeisters, it was a gorgeous model, although I didn't build it, or get to fly it, as it had had many flying hours, and needed refurbishing, and a modern petrol engine & radio, sadly to say, I never got it finished, and sold it on to another LMA member,...

Another sad passing, Tony WAS Mr. Aviation, his knowledge and experience of full size aircraft, permeated into his model flying, condolences to his wife Emily, and his family, R.I.P. Sir.

Sorry to see this news, Harold was an "Old Skool" modeller and engineer, him and big Dave Swarbrick were a great double act, dedicated to the hobby, no show was complete without them, R.I.P. sir.

Dave was a lovely bloke, and as said, he supported all the LMA shows with his sidekick Mr. Harold Dowbekin, the mighty duo, who built and presented some lovely models at the shows, Condolences to his familt, God speed mate.

Oh dear, yes very sad news, Ted was lovely reserved gentleman, who built some stunning models, and I was honoured to serve on the LMA Committee with him, sincere condolences to his lovely wife and family, thanks for your all your superb creations. PS also condolences to Bill Grimsley's family, altho...

Oh dear, sad to read of Bob's passing, as already said, he was a great bloke, models and aero modelling was in his DNA, he always defended what was right, a lovely friendly man, my condolences to his family.

Yet again, for the second time I have been let down by a buyer, trouble is, these days people want something but aren't prepared to put themselves out to travel to buy it, I have often done a 250 mile or so round trip to buy a model, as there not always on your doorstep, and when you get the stupid ...

In the last six or seven years, I have been into buying and selling antiques, mainly specialising in antique silver which is all sold through eBay, and I have sold loads of stuff abroad, even to China, Russia, Korea, as well as USA, Canada, Australasia and of course Europe, and I must say that all h...

As an ex Journal Editor, I did the job for a couple of years, I will say it was blooming hard work putting it together, and getting it out on time, especially as at that time getting it printed and posted was the biggest issue but Dave managed to turn it all around, and has been very dedicated to it...

Hello Dave, just seen your post, I must say that LMA has lost another good man, you brought a lot of new innovations to the job, and your dedication is second to none, in upgrading the journal and getting the old web site updated, wish you all the best for the future, you and your big lens will be m...

Now Sold: A 1/3 Scale Electric Crackerjack A Superb Exact Scale Turn Key, or "Bind-n-Fly" Scratch Built Model, not built from a kit, it was built by an expert large model builder, from a Dennis Tapsfield plan, It has a 3m wing span, with two separate wing panels, that fit into the top win...

A lot of these unexplained incidences can be caused by a flight battery, Nicads are notorious for suddenly playing up, then people couldn't find anything wrong with them, usually under load.

What a sad state of affairs our innocent hobby has succumbed to, by bored uninformed officials, who've got nothing better to do, and just want to ruin the innocent fun normal people are enjoying, we have the BMFA, LMA, CAA, to look after and regulate our hobby, so why do these jumped up officials ne...

The Flair range of models were great models to build to getting you started but there were other truer scale Moth's out there, like the ones produced by Duncan Hutson etc. you could always find a plan and get a kit cut, then at least you would have fresh wood to build it with, rather than old dried ...

Great post David, although not model related, all very interesting, especially for the modeller interested in building one of these rare aircraft.

I have now signed an online petition against this new proposed unfair legislation.

Dear all, these days I occasionally go out and fly a modern foamy but haven't flown for three years due to life and weather etc. getting in the way but I am totally aggrieved by this latest proposed legislation, after all, we are all supposed to be big kids going out to play with our toy aeroplanes,...

Without Prejudice: Unfortunately, drones were a brilliant invention but unwittingly sounded the death knell for our hobby. We were okay flying our Junior 60's etc. but we strayed into the realms of government & military defences with the drone. Model aircraft and helli's are usually flown within...

Have just read on the BMFA a sad announcement, that Gordon had passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning, another old school gentleman has left us, he was such a lovely quiet man, kept himself to himself, RIP Gordon, and condolences to his family.

Oh dear, sad news, and still a young man, remember Grant well, one of the early experimenters with electric powered models, designed and built his own models, and I remember him starting up his leccy model business. Condolences to his family.
