Hi Do you have any pics of the finished footbridge? 2 & 4MM. I am Alan of George Alan (models)just back in the UK (retired). None of my old kit survived the passing of 40+ years and I am trying to build up a bit of an archive. Hope you can help alan.whines@hotmail.com cheers Alan

Tony Just properly read this forum and..well I just did not realise who was writing. Good to here you are still around and have a better memory than me. I have difficultly putting it all together nowdays. George, yourself, Dick Briton, Nee shipping, Photofab, Stephen Poole my shed in E10, then London Bridge, politicians and miner and unions. Busy time. I have just come back to the uk (retired) and living in Co Durham. I hope you have a good archive, I have one photo of the original bridge. I have spoken with Peter Dawson who told me some of Georges story, what a tragedy. He said he had some bits he will send me, which is very good of him. cheers for now alan.whines@hotmail.com

T J D?????????? Sorry AJD???????

We had a guy named Rob in the North, but cant recall surname. He drove a van which was a fully loaded mobile warehouse. He came down the M1 couple of evenings a week and met up with Tony Dyer with a vanful of replacement stocks. At that time we were operating out of Glasshill Street SE1, and we had become a wholesaler and carried many manufacturers products, including Humbrol which we had exclusive contract. Thanks for the memory

Sorry All .....that post seems a bit short and not cheerful. George Pring was indeed the George of George Alan (Models) Ltd of 10 Manor Road, London E10. I am the Alan ex of that address in the early 70s. If anyone knows of any original kits going spare I would be please to be pointed in the right direction. I have nothing except one photograph and some magazine cuttings It was Kings Cross Models that I made the very first sales of the 4mm lattice footbridge.On sale or return because at £4.99 I was told noone would buy them. cheers Alan

Hi All....George Allan should be George Alan...cheers
