Thanks Cliff, I thought Pelham St rang a bell. I did know the Drury Hill one too. I usually went to Central Market kiosk when I went with my mam on Saturdays. I also just found out they took a stall at the Goose Fair and now I seem to remember that too.

Yes swe, they did to begin with and a lot of the joints were pretty iffy also. I started doing Airfix kits when I was about six and was a bit slap-handed with the glue to start. After I found the trick of applying it with the end of a cocktail stick or a tiny paintbrush, I got pretty accomplished. Over the years I had all the aircraft, tanks, you name it. The aircraft hanging from my bedroom ceiling with fishing line. I was still doing kits until I was about sixteen, but mainly Tamiya motorcyles and American cars by then. I'm pretty handy and practical and I've always put that down to my early model-making training. :)

Collars and studs. I still had to wear them as part of my uniform in the RAF as late as 1973 when I left.

TV valve changing men. When the telly broke, as it did on a regular basis, a man used to come around and change a few valves to get it working again.
