Wonderful stories over a pint I'm sure!
The Harrier is a real crowd pleaser at the airshow!
Navy Intruders and Prowlers, which I've been told are louder than the Harrier, its just that we don't sit in one place making all that racket!
Good stuff!

I am lucky enough to call Andy a friend, and I am in awe of his talents in either scale. The full size knowledge he brings to the hobby is fascinating.

Re the following picture, I asked Andy if he was smiling or grimacing, he said "concentrating!"<br>

I hope Rob Leigh doesn't mind me sharing this piccy :)

Thanks for the kind words Danny.

For interest, there's an article I wrote some 20 years ago for Pilot Magazine on flying the Deperdussin. A copy of it is on the Historic Aviation Association web site here:

Andy,

Welcome to the site and you can regale us with your stories anytime.  I believe Mike has a column devoted to off-modeling topics.  If not, please feel free to relate some of your stories for us.  Sparky has been kind enough to share some of his experiences with the A-6 Intruder and we all enjoyed it.  Many of us here are also pilots, A&P technicians, jet engine inspectors, members of various aviation-related organizations and more.  Modeling is another facet of our love for flying. 

Personally, I've always held a special interest in many aircraft of British origin; the S.E.5 and Swordfish were both modeled with the S.E.5 posted under the "Other Kits" column under Super Detailing S.E.5 (okay, I admit a bit of self-aggrandizement here, sorry).  Many others have built models far more superior than I and rather than being intimidated, I was welcomed with open arms and I truly learned and expanded my knowledge of aviation in general and modeling in particular.  

Please feel free to share a tidbit here and there.  We won't tell.... 

Sincerely,

Skye
