Thanks very much folks for the warm welcome, hopefully meet up with some of you for a mooch around some desolute but atmospheric place in the near future
I have not built any model kits before. Does anyone have any advice or suggestion on which kit I should use for my Leyland Hippo? I am very patient and prepared to undertake detailed work.
My name is Dave Key. I've always loved military planes but I'm pretty new to the whole topic of Aviation Heritage, despite living the last 20 odd years in the shadow of Eastleigh airport and having a general love of all forms of history since childhood.
However, my interest has increased substantially since I agreed to help a friend who had been the unofficial site historian for Hursley Park, where I work. I'm, in a very unofficial way, trying to take over some responsibility for the research into, and updating of the site. Inevitably this has lead me to the years when Vickers-Supermarine had their design team located here but also to brief glimpses of the Royal Flying Corps' Artillery and Infantry Co-Operation school who were also stationed here, if briefly.
So I'm trying to discover as much as i can about these periods, and your forum was recommended by someone on 'The Aviation Forum'. so here I am, and the more I discover the more I am becoming fascinated by the topic.
So hopefully you'll be able to help me, and in return I'll be able to share what I discover about Hursley Park and both the RFC AICS and Supermarine.
