| Reminds me of my boarding school days in the early 50's! Mind we were still working with gaslight! Veron & Keil Kraft planes and boats were the most popular if I recall. All sanded from pre-shaped balsa blocks. The day one of the day-boys appeared with a plastic Airfix kit was so momentous that our teacher held up the bagged kit at supper to announce the future of model-making! We even had displays & competitions with prizes awarded for the best models. Many of us caught the bug & are still modelmaking today. One of my fellow modellers now runs an F1 team - so there is hope for us all!
