"I saw him yesterday, gave him some old airliner kits to give to his son's father in law" That'll be Peter! He was our neighbour for years!
Silas told me about the the Jeep crash..[

] shame.....
But good luck converting him to turbine. He told me he's not too bothered about building jets of any kind because "while my regular field is close, the jet field is a hassel to get to" You'll have to tell him that modern day jets are designed for short/bumpy grass fields! Have to find him a plan for a Baby Boomerang, as he doesn't strike me as being overly happy with ARTF's (ARF's).
