This channel is mostly about pre-war flying, motoring, railways, transport and whatnot. It regularly features my Aeronca C3, Vauxhall 14/40 and other projects. Flying For Fun is a book written by Jack Parham in 1945. It recounts the amusing tale of flying an Aeronca C2, G-ABHE, before the war. The BBC made a short TV film of the book in 1986 featuring the Aeronca C3 I now own. I saw it back then and it started a lifelong admiration for the two cylinder Aeronca. I'm recreating Jack's Aeronca and have several other projects - aeroplane and motorcar - underway.

The channel is (hopefully) a miscellany of delight and features a variety of subjects that interest me, generally prior to the trouble with the Austrian Corporal. Don't expect to find anything very useful or particularly serious, although I try to keep things factually accurate (except for when I need to make things up).
