: Ah nostalgia etc, Saw my first R/C plane at Heathfield `drome flown by two American servicemen. The local model flying club had use of the defunct runways and inside the hangars for C/L when wet. Mine was KK Phantom Mite with ED Bee, lot of saving up for a 13 year old. next was F/F Tomboy (same Bee) Had wheels or floats, must do a R/C assist one soon. Smaller world than you might think...the Cooper brothers used Heathfield to fettle Bob MacIntyre`s TT bikes and a little girl used to come with her uncle Joe(Kelly) as gofor and Gunker. I met her 10 years later and we married and found out we had nearly been in each others company years before. Probably the only person to have had a few laps on the back of a TT winning "Porcupine" Ajay.
Cheers the noo Duncan
