This channel is named after me because it is about things I do or have opinions about.
It isn't a scale aircraft model channel - although, for now, there are mainly videos about that.
It isn't a music channel - although, for now, there but a few videos about that.
It isn't a vlog channel - although there will occasionally be videos like that.
Well you get the general idea. This is a channel about everything I do.
I am limited in facilities & equipment but hang-in there & this channel will improve, one day, I hope.

After searching in one of the more dusty parts of my room, I've found the port outrigger wheel of my Hawker P.1127/Kestrel model. It was damaged by accident a few months ago. Now I've got all the parts to glue it back together. I also found some random parts. A drop tank from my old Sea Harrier model, plus what looks like a main wheel for a Gnat and the internal (Oxygen?) tanks from a Spitfire.

I found and re-attached the canopy from my Sea Fury model. I just thought I'd let people know.

Next Saturday's video is from 2007, when I visited the Great Vintage Flying Weekend at Hullavington Airfield in Gloucester, UK. [by car]
NB: The video on my old camera was not good, so probably best to watch this on a smaller screen. The photo incerts are better quality though.

Tomorrow you nice folks will get to see a full edit of clips I videoed at the Abingdon Air & County Show in 2015 (I think), of the Fieseler Storch STOL aircraft the Germans had in WWII.

I spoke too soon. Just noticed that the Sea Fury knocked the Kestrel off the end of the shelf below. It lost a wing, bent the nose probe and the Port outrigger wheel is in the same dusty inaccessible corner of my room as the Sea Fury canopy.
Oh well. More to add to the repair schedule next March.

I took the risk of moving shelves without taking the models off first.
Result: 1 broken Hawker Sea Fury model.
Actually one miraculously not as broken as it could be, considering it fell about 3ft onto a hard surface, model of a Hawker Sea Fury. Only thing it lost was the canopy, which I'm not looking for, for now, because its gone into a cluttered inaccessible corner of my room.

I decided to delete the survey. No disrespect intended to those who commented.

NEW VIDEO OUT TOMORROW! Yes folks, the 20 minute long video nobody asked for is here at last! I've discovered how to record the screen, using the free video software so have been experimenting & learning by doing. Its just a review of my channel's analytics & traffic, plus a look through the list of kits I still have in my "stash". So grab your cocoa and drift off to sleep watching it.

After having weeks of feeling light-headed and with a worry that it may have been (at least partly) caused by exposure to glue, I have decided to stop building new models for this year. Then I will know if I was being affected with fumes in my room. I usually pause in September anyway. Hopefully I will return to it in the Spring of 2026.
Meanwhile, no more model videos are planned for this year, although I may post the occasional video unrelated to model aeroplanes. This is NOT and never has been intended to be a model aeroplane channel anyway.
I am re-thinking what this channel is going to be like but for now a huge thanks to all those who have watched this year so far.
