Welcome!

If I was to say that I'm writing this from my 10x6ft pitched roof shed surrounded by the paraphenalia of the enthusiatic aeromodeller, finished and unfinished aercraft, servos, receivers, nicads, dope glue, balsa dust, plans and a 40 year old brass handled balsa knife it would, as you may have guessed not be true, but, metaphorically it is.

For me and all of those of a certain age who have retired to "The Shed" as a haven of peace, persuance of precious hobbies and solace from the troubles of the modern world I am producing this web site. Be it aircraft, railways, wood craft, metalwork or, restoration of precious vehicles matters not. We are all members of a large society protecting what we believe to be the good things in life.

Also, as we proceed through these pages spanning some eighty years of lifes experiences some common thread may appear which may enable you to recall events or occasions that can be shared.

The Bargate Southampton.
