    F-4D Phantom II (Freewing EDF jet)

    I have filmed several turbine F-4 Phantoms. It's an iconic jet and have always wanted to try flying one but a turbine version is well out of my reach. Cue to Freewing F-4D Phantom II. Looks like the real thing after 15 minutes of assembly and applying the decals. Dropped in my receiver and a...

    'Dawn Patrol' WWI Fighters and Scouts

    An array of fantastic WWI fighters and scouts in this slot at RAF Cosford. Each model aircraft built from plan by hand by its owner. Certainly challenging to fly in any kind of wind but the weather was fairly kind to us on this day.

    Big 1.7m Freewing A-10 Thunderbolt II EDF jet

    With all my recent filming of turbine A-10s I had to have the nearest thing. One of the 'Essential RC' team had told me Motion RC had opened an EU warehouse so after a quick stock check on their web site I made the order for the big 1.7m Freewing A-10. It shipped same day and was with me 2 days...

    RIAT Air Show 2018

    Invest most of my spare time filming RC but this show is the biggest and best in Europe so it's kind of a no brainer to spend a bit more on a good ticket so I can film some superb aircraft in action. Royal International Air Tattoo celebrating 100 years of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the UK.

    Rarer Dornier Do 335 fighter (Engines front and back)

    It was great to see a big scale Dornier Do 335. Rarely modelled and understandably. I suspect it's a very challenging project. This one flown in great style at the Weston Park International Model Show in formation with several other WWII fighters.
