It's odd to find out that your great grandfather has his own Wikipedia entry. I possibly should have checked out whether this was the case in the past, but I only bothered to do so today. If you have anyone even remotely famous in your past, try Wiki and see if there's something there.

Spitfire Mk. Vc Robert Stanford Tuck, Commander Biggin Hill Wing 1941

More picture fun now, because I said I was going to sleep, and that means I have to start doing ridiculous things, like editing pictures and posting them. Over the weekend we were away in the Lake District having fun with family, and on Monday I had a great opportunity to show off how much of a geek I am by getting excited about the steam trains. Here's the one which took us from Haverthwaite to Windermere. Yay! That really is it, I need to sleep...

I've finally managed to change my profile picture, after many years. Ardent blog enthusiasts will have as little idea as the rest of the world about what's going on in the picture. I am close to sleep now, but I leave you with this thought: it's kangaroo leather. Sleep tight.

Aircraft Pictures (ok, so one of them is a tank...)
Depending how observant you are, you might or might not have noticed the proliferation of photographs of models on the page below. These are all things I have built recently. There are others missing, including a Spitfire and a Subaru Impreza WRC, but I was going with those I have pictures of on the net. Just wanted to post them somewhere. Cheers.
