Hi All,

Just getting ready to list a nice 1952 book on model boat building and came across this in the foreword when taking the photos:

I thought it was rather quaint!

Cheers, Martin

Martin,

Yes, that's a good Foreword. Churchill was a bit of a painter in his spare time and later years so he would appreciate the importance of having a purpose that fully absorbs the mind.

Out of interest, can I ask what book this Foreword comes from?

And Mr Adam of "Adamcraft"?

Regards Ian.

Yep, "Model Boat construction" By Harvey A Adam   ------  Naval Architect.
