After a bit of a breather after the marathon of uploading AeroModeller, I have started the task of uploading the issues of Model Aircraft that were in the Plans Gallery for HPA 2. It's not a complete set by any stretch of the imagination. If you have copies of anything in the 1940s (except November and December 1946 and January and February 1947) or after 1961, then I can assure you that it isn't in the magazines that I have available to upload. I've done a list below of the 97 or so issues that I have between 1946 and 1961 so you can see which ones are missing in that range.
So far I've only done the two from 1946, but I hope to get the rest of the issues that are available from HPA2 uploaded in the next few weeks.
If you want to help with this exercise and you have some Model Aircraft issues that are outside the range that I already have, send me a PM with your email and I can discuss with you how we might go about this. One good way is for you to scan all the pages in an issue and send the scan to me (wetransfer is a good way to do this). I can then tidy them up, do a contents page, make a thumbnail for the Gallery and upload the lot. Alternatively, I'm happy for anyone to take charge of the whole job in relation to some or all of the "other" issues.

PS George Could you set up folders for Model Aircraft like you did for AeroModeller so I can upload them in an organised way?
Hi Jeremy,
That will be great...
I will create the needed categories, for now just upload them anywhere until I do. They are easy to be moved around.
I also changed your permissions to allow direct upload.
George
Thanks George
Well, better get done with it...
Categories set up, probably some years are unnecessary, le me know to delete them.
The two issues have been moved to 1946

I've uploaded four more issues today, but they don't seem to have come through or do you still need to approve them?
Not complaining. Just wondering.
Hi Jeremy,
I saw the files, indeed they needed validation.
Changed your permissions again, so please give it another try.
The funny part, or the problem is that when I change it, i do not see it changed, even though it has been changed.
