More models

Here's a few more old photos I found & quickly scanned. This Maggie took several months to finish. I'm not sure it had flown when I took these shots. The chap who built it gets more pleasure out of building than flying. He allows a few experienced club members to fly his scale models as he doesn't trust himself to do it. He also built a beautiful scale Lysander that apparently flew very well but I never saw it in the air & have no shots of it. Pity I didn't have my digital camera back then.

I took these at the annual model display at Plumpton Racecourse. One of my favourite venues which I always looked forward to. Unfortunately this event is no longer held as the organiser retired a couple of years ago & nobody else was prepared to take over the responsibilty.

This is a much younger Hagar with a little fun model designed by one of the club members.

Here's another one of my models, a natty little aerobatic slope soarer with the romantic name of the Blob. ;D

Sadly I smashed it up some years ago. :'(

Love the Halifax. My father's just got his Lysander airworthy again in Oz after its journey around the world...
