Merv Kennard… Colin, have found some others that I’m interested in.
books
Model aeroplane books
Supplied by Lloyd Johnson
Lloyd Johnson… A few 1930s model aeroplane builders books from my collection.I Love the cover artworks…and they have great plane plans in them so it’s like building Antiques….
Nigel Ford… Is dope still allowed for setting tissue? Pretty heady stuff from childhood memory, maybe restricted sale item now?
Lloyd Johnson… You can still buying Cellulose shrinking dope….still stinks and makes you dizzy if there is not enough ventilation .I always dope my models in the back garden…..
Peter Ellingworth… I would probably doubt it….most likely classified as a harmful substance in today’s climate.I believe L H Sparey who is named on one of the covers, also wrote ‘Using the small lathe’ of which I have a copy, and was printed by Percival Marshall’s successors MAP.
