I'm trying to rack my old brain to remember which wargame magazine it actually was, but I know it must have been pre 1977 because I was still at school when I made the stands and I left in 1976. We had an after school wargame club that was my introduction to the hobby. I'll do some digging for that article.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-70854654183034662452017-01-19T03:56:03.915+00:002017-01-19T03:56:03.915+00:00Thanks for your sharing .Thanks for your sharing .plastic injection moldinghttp://www.jweimolding.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-56235529101858830402017-01-18T13:19:53.927+00:002017-01-18T13:19:53.927+00:00Lee - a little more Google-fu has found that a cha...Lee - a little more Google-fu has found that a chap called Mike Spick wrote a series from April '77 onwards?Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-77033383392927986312017-01-18T13:05:11.741+00:002017-01-18T13:05:11.741+00:00Lee - you know you want to.. :o)) Anything here...Lee - you know you want to.. :o)) Anything here??<br /><br />http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/mags/contents/airfix-magazine-1970s-contents-listing.htmSteve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-29821829235776261592017-01-18T12:57:36.105+00:002017-01-18T12:57:36.105+00:00Natholeon - well worth a read...Natholeon - well worth a read...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-2858911269674771692017-01-18T09:54:22.486+00:002017-01-18T09:54:22.486+00:00Good review Steve.

Funny you should mention the early WW1 rules because I also was inspired by an article in (I think) Airfix magazine around the time I was still at school. I was able to make the 'flying stands' in woodwork lessons from the illustrations provided, as I recall it was circular bases with long dowels as the bases and a sort of drilled out wooded collar that slid up and down the dowel, with a length of thinner dowel that held the model aircraft. The main dowel was carefully marked up in inches to represent height. The planes, Fockers, Sopwith camels etc were fixed to the thin dowels and the game played on the floor. The rules allowed for turning circles, dives, climbs etc and was great fun ...... come to think of it, I'm sure I would still enjoy that game today! I wonder if anybody out these has access to the original article as I would love to see it again. I would guess it would have been around 1973-ish?'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-33818674710948989112017-01-17T22:55:14.393+00:002017-01-17T22:55:14.393+00:00Thanks for the review Steve - looks interesting.Thanks for the review Steve - looks interesting.Natholeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359406949497306737noreply@blogger.com
