Times certainly change! Terrestrial TV is now massively declining in the face of internet streaming, Youtube and social media. The Country has always been 'going to the dogs' but although modelmaking is in decline as a hobby activity, we have never had more choice in the availability of kits, materials, electronics and fittings, all of which can be purchased and delivered to your door at the press of a few buttons.

It's not all bad!

I was in the RAF at the date of that piece which I never saw at the time a bit of shift work, made TV watching difficult.  I recall the urgency of getting into the TV room a while before Hancocks Half Hour was shown.
I finished my service in June and came back for a short time to live with my father and brother before getting married in 1963.  Saying model boat building was your hobby was regarded as rather quaint then a typical New Age newly wed was well illustrated by the play Abigails Party.  I did not want to be part of that!
Still married and same lady who has put up with my hobbies all that time.

I worked for the BBC for 16 years and there were quite a few keen modellers there - even some boat modellers!
