It's true!

TIM KNOWLES is an engineer who lives in Slidell, L.A., U.S.A. He grew up in the woods of Maine and now works in the US space program.

He is a member of Northshore R/C Modellers Club, where they fly everything from gliders to turbine-powered jets. Tim himself flies electric powered planes almost exclusively.

Included here is a picture of Tim's Ellipstic - the yellow one; the other one belongs to Tim's friend, Joe Colletti. Click the thumbnail image to see these delicate beauties in more detail.

Tim has a website at http://hometown.aol.com/dtknowles/eflight.html where I picked up some more nice pictures of his models which you can see on photo gallery. Visit his club, Northshore Radio Control Club, on club scene.

Keith Kingsbury is a 48-year-old Care Assistant  who lives in Prontypridd, South Wales, UK. He's divorced (and looking for a new wife, if anybody's interested!).

Keith works for Social Services caring for people with Alzheimers and other forms of dementia and has done this for the last seven years. Keith is a close friend of Derek and Elaine Morgan whose new CD was mentioned on the new hotchpotch page of issue #44. Keith first met Derek and Elaine when he went to work at the studios where Elaine sang and they have been good friends ever since, enjoying many 'adventures' together in the music industry. Keith worked for a lot of singers and bands between 1984 and 1995, including Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Albion Band and Ralph McTell, plus being involved with Derek and Elaine's music. He toured all over the UK and the continent, so it was a big change for him to go into the Welfare Services but that is something he has never regretted.

Keith's immediate family consists of son Mark, Sarah (his daughter-in-law), 14-months old grandson Samuel and grown-up son Simon.

Modelling interests are fixed-wing and Keith flies an Alpha 180 and a Twinstar (see photo gallery). He's been in the hobby for just one year and belongs to Cardiff Flying Club.

Keith's other interests embrace music, walking, trying to fly (his models, I presume!), motor racing, travel and photography (plenty of scope there for something on the hotchpotch page!).

Richard Blindheim hails from Oslo, Norway, where he works as a media executive. He is 53, married to Liv E. Dahle and they have three children, Nina (11), Petter (14) and Kathrine (22).
