Introduce Yourself

Hello,

I'm Robin, I am married and have 2 children. I am from the UK and a big fan of experimental aircraft, in particular the X-planes (American and Russian). I'm into retro video gaming having previously worked in the industry and now in a complete change of career I work for a UK aerospace company (one of the few left). I'm also into papercraft modelling and plan to make a papercraft model of each of the X-planes.

Thank you Arjen, they are great sites for free models. I'm also interested in some models in Ecardmodels.com. I am particularly interested in creating models of X-planes that haven't already got a model of them. I will post models as and when but it may take a while doing each one.

Hi Thank you for your message and congratulations on your recent marriage. Although I spent 30 years in the RAF, my knowledge and interest in Ac is not what you would expect. I am more of a collector of badges, visors and flags etc but am looking forward to looking through your site. Naturally, should I stumble on anything that I may be able to add information to then I will. Hopefully, I will find items or threads in my line. Here's hoping!

Thank you once again

Ha! I have a collection of those things I bought off ebay years ago. I'd originally bought issues when they were published but they got lost along the way. One day I was hunting for the latest issue in the magazine section of a local grocery store and spotted a book with an interesting white cover named, "The Hunt for the Red October" and bought it on impulse. At the time nobody had heard of Tom Clancy. Brings back memories. :)

Hello All. I'm a US Navy vet. My rate was Aviation Fire Control Technician 1st Class. I worked on the A-6E TRAM/STARM Intruder and spent three years as a flight deck troubleshooter for VA-115. We were forward deployed to Japan and the only squadron in WESTPAC to include STARM Intruders. During my tour we had two successful AGM-78 MISSILE-EX launches.

I'm a researcher and author of rocket and missile scale articles and editor of my sections newsletter, Total Impulse. I found this site while researching the Bendix/Grumman AAM-N-10 Eagle air-to-air missile. There's great material here and appreciate the members that contributed information on it.
