Thought I'd start a different thread for plane or other hobbies photo's. I hope other forum members will add to it as well.

Some of OH's planes.

The wings are elsewhere.

My main hooby was horse riding..... but unfortuantly the horse and I parted ways and I stuffed my back up...... so now my outdoor hobby is sailing model boats and indoors is cross stitch..... much safer!

Have you got some pics of your model boats sgt-Angua?
I was an avid horse rider too.

I do miss riding.

Hi Tiff, OH has some fine models there! Here's a few of mine
This flies like a dream and is very agile on the slopes.

This one became a bit too fast for me so I sold it to a younger man.

This doesn't get out very often but looks great on calm summer days.

And my lovely Extra Slim Fun Fly (RIP) was victim to a radio glitch.

Another hobby is amateur radio. I'm secretary of Hilderstone Radio & Electronics Club and maintain their website www.g0hrs.org.uk.
This is my fairly modest equipment.

I've always been interested in the weather and last year Mrs SW gave me a weather station for my birthday. It's now online www.users.waitrose.com/~g4mix/weather and here's the bit outdoors.

I think that's more than enough for now. It's just so good to be able to have time to indulge in all these hobbies now I'm retired.

Very nice planes there Straw Walker. What's the plane in the RAF training colours? I thought it was a DH Chipmunk for a moment, but of course it's not - been years since I saw a chipmunk. :lol:

It's an early Piper Cub. I understand that the Army Air Corps used one or two of them as spotter aircraft but I don't think this colour scheme is right.

Super planes Straw Walker. Shame you couldn't rebuild the Extra Slim Fun Fly.

I had an Uncle who was a radio ham, many years ago.

I stopped due to ill health too, sgt-Angua, by the time it was sorted I hadn't ridden for such a long time, so I never rode again. By then my friends horse, whom I used to ride, had been retired anyway, due to arthritus.
Here he is.

okay.. here goes my first attempt at posting picture could be a complete disaster.... but what you should see is one of a boat and one cross stitch picture...... if it doesn't work can someone tell me what I've done wrong?

by **sgt-Angua** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 5:02 pm

by **sgt-Angua** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 5:06 pm

They are links, not image codes - I put one into my browser & they worked fine!

Beautiful cross stitch by the way!
