Re: Geoff Wynn

So sorry to hear of Geoff's passing, a really nice chap who was an enthusiastic modeller, nice to chat to, and a pleasure to talk to a really nice down to earth (non big headed) guy, my condolences go out to his family, another sad loss to our hobby.

Re: Is this a Discussion forum Or Sales website.

To answer your question in my own opinion, a lot of people hate change, although this web site is a nice clean, regulated site, which Dave Parry has done a superb job of modifying and enhancing, members and the general public had used the old (loose?) forum for many years, were familiar and at home ...

Re: Dave & Harold's Panthers

From a new "Kero in the veins" addict, well done guy's two great looking models, and the proof of the pudding flights, hope you get many flights under your belt with them, and keep up the good work. (no ruddy thumbs up on the smilies, Grrrr.)

Re: cell phone ?

I personally think a lot of this hype is generated by the older generation who is ill informed, blind to/ doesn’t understand, and is generally ignorant about modern technology, just like people who pooh, pooh, computer radios, or anything else that is beyond their limited understanding!
