Here's where we can get to know one another and share such news as you may
wish. Send ModelFlight an
e-mail and tell us about yourself, your family, hobbies and interests, what you
do for a living, how long you've been model-making, what club you belong to, if
any - in fact as much or as little as you see fit. Include a picture of yourself
if you wish and ensure to tell us whether or not you want your e-mail address
published. Picture files ideally need to be in JPG format for
best colour reproduction and to ensure that our web browsers support them. GIF
files are also o.k. but have limitations in their support of colour.
Reg's personal profile
I'm 62 years of age, married to Dorothy, and took early retirement when I
reached the age of 60. All our five kids are now married and we have four
grandchildren - delightful and special, of course! We live in the South of
England and have done all our lives except for two years spent working in Papua
New Guinea - that was eighteen years ago. Just over half my working life was
spent in the printing industry, firstly as a craftsman and then in management.
At the age of 42 I left the printing industry to undertake charity work in
administration which I continued to do until retirement (including those two
years in Papua New Guinea and some of the most exciting flying - only as a
passenger - in single-engined Cessnas that you can imagine!). I started my
interest in model flight at the time of my retirement when I fulfilled a
long-held ambition to build and learn to fly a model helicopter - an Hirobo
Shuttle ZXX. Only recently have I decided to have a go at fixed wing models - I
have an Easy Pigeon powered glider waiting for her maiden flight and have just
finished a New Yamamoto 1600 trainer (see the picture
gallery section). Other interests include music, computer flight simulation,
especially Microsoft FS2000, a bit of keep-fit, modest cycling and messing about
on my computer. I am happy to be contacted personally by e-mail - in my case you
can use the ModelFlight e-mail address. [30.01.00]
