A clip from the past. Mike Dory and Skip Assay gave me permission to post clips from the video. It is interesting that after all this time some things do not change and there are things we can still earn.
Peace,
Tom

There are only so many ways of moving water about.
The main advances in the 22 years since that was filmed, can be found in electronics and battery technology. -

Interesting to hear them talking about John Darnell's boats, I thought they were pretty much unheard of over there, especially at that time.Comment

Re: SubPac 1990 - in the beginning
It is fun to see what they say about them. I had a Darnell Type VII, way back when and never completed it. I ended up trading it off......Sad in a way, but glad too because that trade got me kick started again.If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Re: SubPac 1990 - in the beginning
John Darnell is regarded as the pioneer of model submarines here in the UK. He started making working submarines back in the late sixties, and further developed them throughout the 1970's.
By todays standards the designs look somewhat antiquated, but they got a lot of people into the hobby, and the designs were improved over the years.Comment
