Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.

Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.

What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .

Well done Graham !.

Commentary from Dave

This video is taken from 2 different vessels with cameras, there are multiple salvages and a few crashes 😊

This will be the last video from Hubertus for an unknown amount of time due to the CoronaVirus my Government has shut down all nonessential services including clubs.

Having put cameras on a few of the model boats I compiled them into this video

My Model Boat club put on a show two weeks ago and videoed Harley Quinn with my iPhone which is kind of difficult while running the boat because the pusher boats were being run by the kids and I had to avoid them.
