Morden Park
A Memory of Morden.
I lived in Morden from the age of 3 to the age of 16. What I really remember is that I made model aircraft of many different kinds which I used to fly in Morden Park. I used to cycle to "Normans Model Aircraft" shop in Kingston Road, Wimbledon to buy my supplies and spend many, many happy hours building the aircraft. I used to fly them until it was too dark to see them and return home happy - even if they had crashed, as the challenge of repairing them for use another day was most pleasurable. That hobby made me so many friends and even today at the age of 74, I retain an interest in the hobby. A man called Albert lived in my road and he worked at International Model Aircraft in Merton and was very kind to encourage me in the hobby. He subsequently went to work for Wilmot Mansour who were making model kits of jet aircraft with the famous Jetex model engines.
