1.  The pictures in this strip come from Rob Edgerton, illustrating the modelling scene in Queensland around the late nineteen fifties/early nineteen sixties.  His first photo shows Arthur Gorrie (left) and friend with their class 2 teamracer sometime during the late nineteen fifties.  Arthur was one of Queensland's leading designers of control line models in those days.

2.  John French with his Class 3 monoline Speed model (McCoy 0.60) on the Stardusters MAC field at Keperra circa 1964.  The field (on corner of Settlement and Samford Roads) became site of Drive-in Theatre late sixties, and later was developed into a housing complex.  John was a prolific model builder in the sixties and competed in most events.

3.  Fred Dotti with his class 3 speed model.  Fred ran a refrigeration engineering business in Brisbane together with his brother Les, and became well known in modelling circles throughout Australia when his "GoldDust" class 2 teamracer design was published in a 1958 issue of Model News.

4.  Bernie Amies launching Mike Ware’s combat model at Woody Point for the 1960 State Champs.  At that time Bernie was President/Treasurer of MAAQ.  Early in 1961 Bernie moved to Victoria to take up a position at Monash University

5.  Ron Morrison circa 1971 with his OPS .60 powered Class 3 Speed model.  Ron has now served several terms as president of the Brisbane Thunderbirds club, and still remembers his teamrace successes at Nationals of the early nineteen fifties.
