I did an article about Cecil for Model Cars many years ago, and spent a wonderful afternoon at his house hearing about his life and times. He is a remarkable man, and one of the great pioneers of RC. If we ever got to have an RC Hall of Fame, he would be in my top three nominations as an inaugural member.

Maybe if Cecil could be persuaded out of retirement, this problem would get solved a bit quicker!
Could you please scan and email me that article? I'd love to put it into my Model Car History web page! www.ymr.no/historie.htm
