New Clarion is the newsletter of 1066 SAM (Society of Antique Aeromodeller, Chapter 1066), edited by John Andrews.

It is available online here, although I do not see any recent additions:
https://www.sam1066.org/clarion_archive24.html

In it there is a most interesting series written by Nick Peppiatt, aptly named, "Indoor isn't for eveyone"

In this series he wrote a lot of articles on CO2 motors and models. mostly of the vintage type.

John Andrews was most generous to allow the CO2 specific articles to be reproduced in the fb CO2 group, I am adding them here as well.

And many thanks of course to Nick Peppiatt, for having written all these articles full of useful and rare information.

Thanks Chris,
