Never been a great fan of these sort of threads, 1 because I think I take a terrible photo and 2 because it spoils the image you already have of someone that you created in your head from reading their posts.

But I will give it ago this time this was taken last year in Majorca (Oh and it might be worth pointing out I have lost 2 stone since it was taken ) it's the most recent one I have of me and my family all together, normally it's me that takes the pictures so there all pics of my wife and son.

Me, my wife Madeleine and my son Alex

What a good idea Nigel,as John says it is almost impossible to imagine what someone looks like from either a telephone conversation or when they post for that matter,so here is your scribe wonwinglo here, whilst renewing aquaintance with an aeroplane he saved for the R.A.F Museum back in the seventies,thats me in the middle admiring my restored Hawker Hart trainer.

Come on now lets see more members pictures,dont be shy.

Thanks Barry. To be honest non of us could enjoy the hobby we do without a certain amount of patience, support and understanding from 'er indoors. I am very lucky there and Annette has never questioned why I am doing a model when there are a dozen things to be done around the house (and some have been on the list for a number of years!)

I think Nigel is right, it does add a whole new dimension to the forum when you can picture who you are talking to.

Nigels family made me smile, that is quite a handfull compared to just the two of us!

John, I lost a stone a year or so ago so heaps of credit to you for loosing two. That takes some dedication.

Barry, I always envisaged you as a Barnes Wallis character so my picture was as he was portrayed in the movie "Dambusters". There is actually a very good aircraft museum just outside York where they have a room dedicated to Barnes Wallis. I didn't realise until then just how much influence he had in other areas such as Airship developement, incredibly interesting. If you haven't been you would enjoy it.

Steve, nice to meet you!

Hello all, as I'm a relative newbie on here I'll throw in my tuppence worth and show one of me at the pondside too. As John pointed out getting one of the whole family is almost nigh impossible (wife) Susan hates photos of her being taken and getting the kids to stop still long enough is the other problem.and that is me in the water. My thanks ? to Ray for taking this photo :bounce:

cheers

Jim

A really amazing designer Richard,it always amazes me just how the evils of war can bring forth just the right sort of people to get the job done,it is just a pity that we do not get the individuals these days,instead they are swallowed up in rooms all linked to computers and CAD technology,the days of the draughting rule,pencil and slide rule are a thing of the past.

I was lucky enough to meet Sir Frank Whittle before he died,a modest kindly personality snapped up by the Americans when Great Britain squeezed him out.
