David Boddington 1932 - 2010
I just saw this at the Key Publishing forum.
Sad news to report. David Boddington, leading flying scale model builder, author, magazine editor and designer of the Biggles Biplane BE-2c replica, passed away this morning after a brave battle against cancer.
David is probably best known to aeromodellers who have used his many plans. He was also a pioneer in operating large-scale models for film work including WW1 types for the BBC series Wings and Ruskin Airways DC-3s for the ITV drama series Airline.
I eagerly collected his magazine Radio Control Scale Aircraft back in seventies and eighties. It was never the same after he left. for me DB was probably the most influential modeler.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends
