I wasn't a huge fan of this game on the old site but I'm really curious what the model Ziggy is figging out in this pic. Extra credit if you can fig out what flavor ciggy it is that Ziggy is swigging

KK Playboy? That would figger. As for the cigger, it's a proper one (no filter); looks too big for a Woodbine. Senior Service? Regular Players?

This is an interesting and likeable photo. I came across it - presumably thanks to the earlier HPA - and saved it. I showed it to one or two or three people who didn't think that grown-ups should indulge in toy 'planes - and all I can say is that it didn't improve their opinion of adult aeromodellers: it dented their opinion of David Boowie. Silly people.

The cigger is no doubt only to be used to light the DT!

Silly people indeed Stephen.

It's a Mattel 'Super Star' freeflight electric model.
I had one in 1972. Superb flyer.
