1955 Model Aircraft Collection

Whilst looking for something else, I found this. Thought I’d share! Note the framed squadron badge on the wall.

Aeromodeller magazine (might have been in one of their annual’s) around 1954 – 56 published a photograph of the lady examining a large control line model , I think of a Lincoln, when she visited a UK model aircraft flying display. If, big IF, I’m right the model was made by a chap with surname of Briggs. He later produced flying scale drawings of a Vickers Viscount (approx 60 ” wing span) and possibly other twins and four engined large models of their day for that magazine. Ms. Carr was well regraded in the model world at that time, so I recall!

That may well be the case, but I felt the interest was in the models and how/why ‘she’ acquired them rather than any interest in her ‘interest’! 🙂

I’m no expert on psychoanalytical matters. but she’s got about as much interest in those models as I have of the internal workings of a potato slicer! its a big show!
