Greetings from Down Under…
Greetings from Down Under…
G’day - I’m new to this Forum although I’ve been a member of the Facebook group for a while and admired some of the work displayed there. I’m from Australia (if you hadn’t guessed) and am interested in planes mostly although I have got kits of other genres (sci-fi; ships; AFV etc.). I’m planning on retiring in about 12 months’ time and so hope to be able to devote more time to this great hobby of ours. I’m currently on a trip of a lifetime in the UK and will be attending SMW at Telford this weekend.
Cheers,
Richard (aka Mayhem65)

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Greetings from Down Under…
Is this ‘our’ Richard - one of the 3 ‘amigos’, iggie? Ignore this post iggie - I’ve just seen that it is indeed ‘our Richard’.
