NextBackFairests! Do I remember that superb model shop! John Fairest lived down the road from me in Headless Cross. I spent many hours in his shop, drooling at the massive selection of models on offer, which were literally stacked to the ceiling.
John had an old stepladder to enable him to retrieve a model requested by schoolkids such as me from the very top of the pile!
Even in old age, he never fell off. He was a true gent, and his knowledge of the model market was encyclopaedic!
