      Hi,
      I have plan MM1405 Puffing Muffin by David Deadman in my collection. Was this ever a plan feature in Model Boats magazine. If so could anyone advise me the year, issue number or month of publication.
       
      Thanks
      Tony.

          MM sounds like it was published in Model Maker, which makes it pretty ancient. The plan is still available from MyHobbyStore. Maybe they can advise you ref the actual date and issue. Alternatively Colin Bishop seems to have info like this at his fingertips – see “ancient” above!!

            Fingertips? You’re a fine one to talk Dave!
             
            The only real way to track down articles in this way is to ‘bracket’ the plan number by hunting through old issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I will have a quick look anyway.

              Bingo! My BWRS* has come up trumps. The 3 page feature was in the November 1987 issue. I can scan it in for you if you want Tony.
               
              Cheers,

                Colin,
                 
                Thank you, it would be pleasure to receive a scan of this. Do I need to pay anything to yourself or MHS?
                 
                The item is newer than I thought.
                 
                Your BWRS is better than mine. I suffered one of those ‘fits of madness’ last year and cleared out magazine’s, books etc and regretted it ever since.
                 
                Tony.

                  Hi Tony,
                   
                  Scans sent.
                   
                  “The item is newer than I thought”  – or maybe you’re older than you realise!
                   
                  Happy to help a fellow modeller as the material is over 20 years old.

                    Scans Received – Thank You again Colin.
                     
                    Regarding age and time flying I found this interesting little poem from Chester Cathedral.
                     
                    Times Paces
                     
                    When as a child I laughed and wept,
                    Time crept.
                     
                    When as a youth I waxed more bold,
                    Time strolled.
                     
                    When I became a full-grown man,
                    Time RAN.
                     
                    When older still I daily grew,
                    Time FLEW.
                     
                    Soon I shall find, in passing on,
                    Time gone.
                     
                    O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
                    Amen 
                     
                    (I hope they don’t mind me copying their poem – if so please delete)

                        That would be a first
