Hello George. Yes I recall your flash steamer at Windermere during one of those lovely weekends my wife and I used to enjoy. An interesting boat for sure. I have seen the videos of your Touchwood K7, goes very well. I think I helped around 6 people with that model and know they all run well. Mine Touchwood K7 is owned by my Grandson who is 6 years old. Its in his bedroom and he talks to it which is a bit of a worry.
His dad , my eldest son, now has the gas trubine K& I built. Hew runs it from time to time. The next time is the 4th January 2017.
My health is not that much better so I just do what I can when I can. I do'nt think I can make anything like the gas turbine K7 again, I see it as the pinnacle of my modelling career. Sadly during one of the periods of my black dog I sold most of the
collection of water speed record boats I made including Slo Mo, Miss Bud, Spirit of Australia and Crusader. I have done some bad things in my life during black periods but selling them has to rank as the daftest.
I enjoyed meeting you George and am pleased you are still very much an active modeller.
