Quiet Mike

Interested in early Edwardian and Great War aviation, prewar RAF, especially anything with a local connection. I'm a stones throw from the Vickers Supermarine Works in Woolston, often at RAF Calshot, or Hamble Airfield. Especially love flying boats and float planes - Southampton had a flying boat port, and RAF Calshot held the Schneider Trophy Race in '31.

Outside of modelling - keeping an ailing 1959 Volkswagen Kombi on the road, playing with old bicycles and cameras. Most things vintage in fact, even down to my clobber! Married with 2 boys.
