The Scrapbook is a collection of some of my accumulated pictures. which I want to share. All pictures are © the individuals and must not be reproduced without written permission. All pictures shown here are shown by permission of the individual owners.

Pic 1.  It's 1992 and I build my first model to learn with.  No ARTF's in those days!

Pic 2. In them days it was compulsory to have a WOT4.  At our local flying club it was also compulsory to overshoot into the the dyke!

Pic 3. My first Bi-plane was a tiny President Bi-Fli  which was only thirty something inches wing span and powered by an OS25.  Great model and was sadly missed when I eventually crashed her after many flights.

Pic 4. A bit of fun with an SAS Delta wing.  I literally wore this model out - cracking!

This is my Flair Giles G202 120 fitted with my Laser 150. Purchased purely to run the Laser engine in and to get me some practice with the 4 stroke engine.

Pic 5  & 6. Sig Smith Mini Plane. The first model I ever painted.  Solartex over airframe and then painted with enamel paints.

Pic 1.  I took a few years off in the late 90's to do a Masters Degree. When I was ready for flying again, I built myself a Seagull 40 trainer to get back into the swing of things!  ARF's seem to be in abundance now :)

Pic 2. Flair Giles 202.  Purchased for a bit of fun and to run in my Laser 150 motor!  Not a very well built model !

Pic 3. Decided I was going to do my B Certificate and duly practiced. I used a Seagull PC9 for the test which proved to be most suitable.

Pic 4. I chopped a Black Horse Pilatus up, added retracts, recovered and decorated in RAF colours.

Pic 5  & 6. My Cermark 1/4 Pitts S2B.  Started life with a Laser 150 but got upgraded to a Laser 180 and transformed the model no end.
