Remember them!

anyone remember "look and learn" with the fall of the trojan empire, a sci fi story.

Eagle was too expensive for us, I had the Beano!

i had the Beezer.

In 1950 the eagle was 3d - just over 1p - the cost of a Mars bar? It rose quite quickly over the following years. 4.5d by 1955.

I don't recall that far back, I'd just been hatched! :pinch:

i thought you crawled out from under a rock.

My first recollection of model aeroplanes was at a dis used airfield near christchurch.We were on holiday with my aunt and visted to see the models fly .The recollection was a guy who flew his FF off the ground and to his dismay realised the model was using fuel from the tank,I assume there was atap that he hadnt switched off,so off he ran after his disappearing model

That must have been the old de Haviland factory, the ATC used to winch gliders off the other runway.

I was to small to see passed the big men with there huge m0odels at the time.
