DAVID FRANCIS,

EDITOR

david@modelaircraftmag.com

am sure I am not the only one

pleased to see the back of 2020

and happy to see 2021.

There have been so many changes in

the world over the last 12 months it is hard

to remember that the current pandemic

was confined to just a few small areas of

the world on the other side of the globe.

In such a short space of time fundamental

change to the way we live, that would probably

have happened anyway over 10 to 20 years

has taken place virtually overnight. The use of

cash has dwindled to almost nothing while the

use of contactless payment has soared and it

is a similar story on the high street many large

retailers have gone for good and smaller stores

struggle as ordering online and home delivery

have become the new norm. A home office for

many is now routine and some have had a lot

more time on their hands than they planned

for in 2020 than they expected last January.

But now 2020 is in the past and we

have a lot to look forward to. In the UK the

vaccination programme is underway with

the chance that we can return to all the

things we have missed last year. For me

the two things that I have missed far more

than I thought I would have been attending

my model club and going to shows.

I was one of the founder members of

Milton Keynes Model Club over 25 years

ago. I have always credited joining the club

as one of the things that changed my life

in ways I never dreamed off. To start my

modelling improved dramatically as we

all learned new skills and techniques from

each other with the added benefit that if you

do not understand something you can ask

questions until you do. It also gave a rhythm

to my life with the monthly meeting a key

date in my calendar around which I would try

and organise my shifts at work and family

holidays (much to the annoyance of my wife!)

I have made some firm friends that have

had a real impact on my life, like Alan Hall

another founder member of our Club who

many will know from the original Airfix

magazine in the 1960s and 70s and Richard

Franks, a former Editor of this magazine.

Without those two gentlemen, I would never

have started writing about my modelling

which eventually 20 years later would lead to

me writing these words as Editor. Like many

clubs, we are hoping to restart our activities in

the spring, and we may even have a few new

members as one side effects of the lockdowns

is a resurgence in interest in plastic modelling.

The other thing I am missing is model shows

- these were always a chance to show off your

work and spend the day chatting with other

modellers from all over the country. Again,

until they disappeared, I had not realised how

much I had structured life around attending

shows in both this country and abroad. Though

many shows in the early part of the year

have already cancelled some of the bigger

shows are already starting to plan for 2021

the first being the Moson Show in Hungary

on the 24th and 25th April followed in the UK

by ModelKraft in Milton Keynes on the 9th

May. We hope to be attending both of these

Events with the MA Publications Stand. Our

first shows since Plastic Winter in Bratislava,

Slovakia way back in November 2019 and these

will be followed by many many more, hopefully

enabling the return of the much-missed show

diary in the back pages of the magazine.

Therefore if you are planning an event

anywhere in the world please tell us about by

contacting

david@modelaircraftmag.com.

So, though it still dark outside and thing may

seem pretty bleak 2021 promises to be a far

better year than the one that has just passed.

Until then stay safe and I hope to see many of

you when we eventually emerge blinking into

the light in the spring ready to show off a whole

year of modelling projects to an eager world.
