Bloody Nora! That's a lot of airplanes!
 
Hi Barry, when I joined the forum which is just about 12yrs. to the day since. I was making R/C models but there was never more than two or three
contributors with flying models, but I do remember you. It was a nice surprise to see you posting again, afraid I joined the plastic lads 2010 after
losing a leg, I didn't fancy chasing models round a field with one leg at seventy, sit down modelling only now. Any way nice to know your still around,
look forward to your posts. John
 
I got a question for you Barry. Can anyone else in your state get hold of modelling materials before you buy them all?

That's an impressive collection.

Hi Barry, only just found your reply, sorry. I remember Buunkerbarge, always interesting posts. So many people seem to have left, some leave & return
some leave and return multiple times, usually after some sort of spat with someone. Have to say the forum has had a new lease of life with the mass arrival from a defunct site. Quite welcome, long may it continue. John

Remember Duncan who used to build huge ships and aircraft carriers that he would actually sit in and steer around lakes ! his aircraft carrier used to be on display at the museum at East Fortune,he used to tell us about his summer job on the cablecars,is he still with us ?
 
Hi Barry, I have to admit, I don't recall Duncan and I haven't seen any posts from him. Trouble is I'm not into ships and don't read a post if it doesn't appeal to me. Only ships I look for are the ones from our own Mr. Magic alias Ron or Spanner. What he can't do with a tube of sealant isn't worth doing.
Anyway Barry, I've gone over my quota of posts for the first six months, ( compared to my usual) I'll keep looking for posts, I miss the fliers. My best to everyone, your all great entertainment. John
