Remiss of me, after that request and reply, I did not attach the photo, I have of Laurie peake. (1986?) clearly a very accomplished and likeable character, with a great sense of humour. I particularly liked the “scamming the scammers” routines. I am sure he is greatly missed by all who knew him, and glad to have my own small connection. The simprop RC outfit in the photo is ( I think) the one I have, in my small personal collection of old nostalgic RC gear. steve

Hi thank you for that information. I did sadly know he had passed away, and in fact have one of his old radio outfits. I was told of his dedication to the sport, when I acquired it, but knew little more of him, beyond that. It is lovely to be able to share its/ his history, should people ask, and will certainly now be kept ‘As is’ in his honour, for that reason. Thanks again Steve

Hi all I just came across this old thread on model aerobatics. does anyone know anything about an aerobatic R C model flyer called ‘Laurie Peake’ I have a photo of him in front of a trophy around mid 1980s saying it was the UK championships. I cannot find his name in a long list of SMAE BMFA competition winners. any information gratefully received thanks steve
