It was just my "every day hat"....grey/black checked trilby, goggles with a clockface and a black flower on the side. Quite normal.

Thank you for the stylistic notes.   It sounds rather  fetching and  (as you say) quite normal by the standards of Whiffworld.

A great day had by me.....and my four year old....many thanks to those who made him so welcome and a special thanks to Weaver for his patience and repairing skills with my son and almost immediately broken Czech metal Mig 15.......a few pics as I didn't take many....


Cheers - mind you, I may have to start competing with Radish and PR19Kit in the hat stakes if you keep taking photos from that angle...  ;D

Nice one!  ;D

My Hat came about because my asthma clinic doctor recommended that I wear one all the time I was outside. He siad that over 30% of the body's heat escapes through the top of your head.

I'm sure Radish's explantion would be CONSIDERABLY less logical!  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The alternative explanation is that it's coolness that escapes via a bald head, but a hat captures it and a fetching pair of goggles then direct it towards other people.... ;)

Thank you sir for getting Whiff World's next generation fired up. You introduced him and it sounds like everyone did their part to keep him interested. I thank you all as a Father, Grand Father and a modeler.

You know the little helicopter (Avro-Cierva Dragonfly) that I normally bring to shows, but that I thought I'd forgotten at Crewe? Well guess what: it was on the bottom layer of the P.7D box - I forgot that I'd change the stowage arrangements for Bolton...... :rolleyes: :banghead:

My nephew's the same, but we've already built 3 kits together so far with his latest one on the go.
