Steve T Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I didn't see this coming but my previous career as a musician has been rejuvenated! I thought I had retired but over the last year I have become more and more involved with local and young musicians, to the extent that I am going 'back on the road' gigging and touring. I cannot possibly combine my commitment to music with aero modelling, I have tried and it is a non starter. So sadly I say goodbye to all aeronauts, or should that be aero nuts? I spent far more money than was respectable but this does mean that I have loads of gear to sell on to those left shooting the breezes. Watch the classified on here and possibly EBay, (just hope I do not turn up on the 'EBay sellers' thread). Loads of good gear, make the most of the silly prices, I would like all my stuff to go to real flayers. It was not an easy decision to sell up, but I will be touring Europe and Asia again for the next few years! I will keep in touch with the forum whilst I can. I wish you all blue skies and summer evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I wish you the best of luck, Steve, and thanks for your contribution to the forum I'm not sure that anyone ever gives up aeromodelling - we just all take the occasional break of varying duration! Keep looking in when you can! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extra slim Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Lovey written farewell buddy, all the best....aero modelling is always in your blood. Guy I fly with was a 1960's rock n roll star, before my time and never heard of his group, but a quick search on the net and coorr blimey I found him and he was telling the truth..."Don't tell anyone, they'll think I've got money" he says. He still has a lucky life of playing with a band around the northwest and flying with us on Sundays.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve T Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Listen to the old John Miles song 'Music' it pretty much sums it all up. Edited By Steve T on 26/08/2015 18:35:33 Edited By Steve T on 26/08/2015 18:36:49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yes I will be back, this has been a return after flying Vic Smeed designed free flights and a 2ch Futaba pilon jobby around 1969 to 75. As I am doing a Sinatra style come back to music I will surely return AGAIN to modelling. I have thoroughly enjoyed putting my two penneth into the forum now and again. I find all your comments a little moving, honestly! As we old fart musicians say "keep on keeping on, truck on" I will keep in touch. Oh and by the way Mr. John Stones 1, I though about using Canned Heat track, 'On the road again' as a background to my first goodbye post, cheers mate!

Stephen Jones Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 See you Soon Steve , and good luck with you're musical endeavors Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Good luck in your musical endeavours Steve - and I'm sure you'll be back here sooner or later. Aeromodelling is not a hobby an addiction you can easily escape, as you've already proved once! There must be some hidden link between aeromodelling and music. Our club has a well-known (in jazz circles anyway, so I'm told!) saxophone player amongst its members, and one of our committee members appears on that excerpt from a 1957 Huw Wheldon TV programme (easily found on youtube) as a schoolboy playing in a band alongside a certain "James" (later, better known as Jimmy) Page. Me? I identify strongly with Jez's comment near the start of this thread - it took me nearly three and a half years to "progress" from Grade 1 to Grade 2 on the piano!
