Here’s something I’ve been meaning to post for a while and seeing Steve and Ron’s exchanges regarding correct terminology for aircraft has spurred me to take some pics of some of my planes . Living in Sheffield and being a joiner for a good part of my working life means quality edge tools have always been of interest and subsequently I’ve built up a fair collection of planes ,chisels etc . A fair few of these have been bought cheap at car boots etc and refurbished/ restored , a lot were also obtained new through various contacts working in the tool factories , when they were still producing tools in Sheffield ( note , very few tools are still made in Sheffield , most of the bigger companies - Marples , Record , Stanley UK - have been moved abroad or bought out and the name is put on cheapo crap - (Irwin Marples ) ) All the planes in the picture were made in Sheffield with the exception of the Woden fillister which may have been made in Birmingham , although Woden were bought by Record and made in Sheffield too !![3600892A-5264-448A-8875-E22E22C85E30.jpeg 3600892A-5264-448A-8875-E22E22C85E30.jpeg](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/257/257813-c3ad459f1718385bad0c959b4d3e52a5.jpg)

My favourite is a record 04 that I restored along with two others , which dates from 1954/56 . I found a fascinating ( well to me !) site online that tells the subtle differences between record planes over the years and enabled me to accurately date mine .
