Als Hobbies is the most fantastic place for our needs, the shop is well worth a visit. I was invited to his private collection, literally 1000's of vintage kits must have every kit ever made. I spent 2 hours there weighing all the old Flitehook balsa. Huge stock of balsa and doesn't mind rifling through to find the good stuff. Our own Sean Mileson works there Thursday and Saturday

I wondered where the Flitehook balsa had got to ! Gone are the days of rummaging through the back of John's van - ah well!
