Seems I've gotten under the skin of a few. Sorry about that but like I said, each to his own. For what it's worth, I've been privileged, I suppose, to have cleaned and marshalled the BBMF Spitfires and Hurricanes. Just love the sound of RR Merlins. I can't match any of your snow photos but as...

Each to his own Airfames, each to his own. I will switch them off as they hold no interest for me. It's not that I am against modellers, indeed I deeply admire some of the more detailed models, especially RC that cost thousands of dollars/pounds, not that I'm into that either, but wouldn't you...

Since the subject has been raised, I'm going to stick my neck out. As a newbie to the site, I personally find them annoying. Seems like a pissing contest to me, who's got the biggest d**k.

I don't have much to say on other threads but I can add to this one. Done in my youth, and the only two of my pictures not lost over the years. My first wife. Sue Woods, Australian model Sorry about the double exposure. What did I do wrong? Unfortunately, my eyes aren't what they were...

I'm looking for info on the Palandin-Parsons 2 stroke 'radial' engine as seen on youtube. Unfortunately the info above doesn't cover this particular engine. The cut away drawing shown is a 4 stroker. I'm not going to get into what JG was on about re oscillating components but the model on...

G'day all, greeting from South Australia. Whilst searching for some info, I came across this site and decided to pop in and introduce myself. Originally from the UK were I served 15 years in the RAF and the rest of my working life in Quality Assurance. Been in Oz for 35 years now and loving...

You asked for it so here it is. Now see my posts under Introductions and Engines.
