Yeoman / HMM
Two Yeoman / HMM boats- both salvaged from e-bay and thought to be at least 55 years old. each having had most of internal structure removed. no drawings available so had to guess where 'bits' were needed. The smaller 'Minx' is powered by a brushless Turnigy Aerodrive SK286. The 'Wavemaster' has a brushless KD Thumrun 2387/18 and an EZ Run 18a ESC - supplied by Giantcod. First runs at Crealy - 29th July.
Thanks to Ian for the photos.

- kalamunda🇬🇧Leading SeamanThanks for your comments - I have seen the pics of your Wavemaster and they encouraged me to finish this one. I have seen an advert for the Yeoman Minx from around 1960 and the retail price was 21/6 - about ÂA£1.08 in todays money.Like
- thelegos🇬🇧Master SeamanThat's great to hear, there seem to be a few more out there now. it was launced in 1952 at a price of ÂA£3 12s 10p, designed by Les Rowell when he was at Hammersmith Model Makers (HMM) just a couple of years before he left and started Aerokits in 1954. I shall look out for a Yeoman Minx!Like
