New to the site....

Hi all

New to this site & have been searching back through the archives - what a great resource  :-))

My main interests are vintage stuff - the sort of things I drooled over as a disadvantaged child (just kidding :}) in the traditional model shops of the past as well as earlier models - Pond Yachts, Hydroplanes & the like which, to me, document a part of social history. I spent many happy summer days at Kearsney Abbey in Kent sailing both a Sea Rover & Sea Hornet by Aerokits - always seemed a better idea than free flight flying & returning home with my beloved Mills powered Tiger Moth in a bag of bits  :((

Currently busy building, amongst other things, a steam launch (gf hull I'm afraid - sorry  :embarrassed:) & am hoping to get it on the water this summer - not tried steam, apart from the basic Mamod type, before so will almost certainly be asking all sorts of numpty type questions....

All the best
