Our front cover shows the Wolseley WD11 1.5hp Stationary Engine of the 1940s built by the master builder Darren Bonner. This model was awarded the Runnymede Shield for excellence in modelling at the June meeting of the Runnymede Meccano Guild. It was also placed 10th at SkegEx in the Alec Issigonis awards in July of this year. A full write up appears on page 40 of this issue.

Our front cover shows Terry Allen’s Bugatti Type 57C Atlantic Coupe of 1935-38 parked in his drive at home. Terry has swept the boards this year and walked off with the top price at the CAM Exhibition in France and the Alec Issigonis Shield at Skegness. To cap that, he joined us at Lyne in October and walked off with the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy. This is modelling of the highest standard and is a truly great work of art.

Our front cover shows Pete Evans Marion Bucket Excavator that was joint winner of the Runnymede Meccano Shield at our June meeting. A full write-up of these models appears in this issue on page 27. We are indebted to Pete Wood for producing the front cover.
