DAVID BAKER’S MODELS
The following message comes from David’s son-in-law Brian Yearley
Due to the number and condition of the models at Pine Trees, I think the only option is to have an open house, one day that has been advertised on the websites, and allow people to take the models they want, with donations to charity if they wish.
There are a lot of models that had been given to David from people no longer alive eg John Blagg and Jim Adams. If people have a legitimate prior claim to any of the models they would have to let me know prior to the day and I will try to make arrangements for them to collect them. This has been the case with one of the Leprechauns, when last Saturday we found a letter from 1999 requesting its return!
The open house will take place on Saturday 4th April 2009
Details of the the venue’s location will be posted nearer the day.
Don Knight has offered to help sort the models first and then be at the house with me on the day. Anything remaining after the day would have to be be scrapped. People with legitimate claim to any of the models can contact me prior to the day.The models will be airframes only, i.e no engines or timers!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
You’ll definitely want to experience this AMAZING display of David Baker Models prior to Disposal on 4th April 2009.

All these models flew, most without timers or DT.
You’ve got to be there to acquire a bargain piece of the prodigeous output of this man’s outstanding modelling career and you get to be a keeper of a small part of his personal contribution to SAM, SAM35 and SAM1066 history.

Would you please send a picture with all of the models assembled!
That is much more fun to see. I received a whole bunch of stuff like this from an old friend, and it made for a fun afternoon trying to figure out which pieces went to which model!
Good Luck!
STOP PRESS: The Venue:
24 Pine Trees, Weston Favell, Northampton, NN3 3ET
10-30 until 15.30

Ladies and Gentlemen,
And so, the story continues. Inexorably, time passes, and practicality signalled its urgent demand on the space occupied by the vast array of flying models residing at 24 Pine Trees. What to do?
Well! The answer was as surprising as it was generous.
However, this dispersal of airframes was only a punctuation mark in the life and death of David Baker.
Vintage Modellers everywhere will surely know of his thriving legacies, SAM35, SAM1066 and the 1066 Middle Wallop Vintage Free Flight European Championships. Now another is being created as we speak.
