Welcome to my little slice of the web. Let me introduce myself. My name is Charles Hugo but most of my friends call me Charlie. Although originally from Durban, I now reside in Johannesburg but spent most my school years in Kimberley. During my pre school years I lived with my grandparents in the Transkei.
My passions in life are my wife and family, scale modelling, aviation, photography, wild life and this beautiful diverse country that I live in. My wife (Fiona) and I love visiting game reserves in South africa and attending airshows in our beautiful country. South Africa is blessed with a rich diversity of natural beauty if one takes the time to look.
My interests in scale modelling stem from a very early age when I saw my first ever model, a P40E Kittyhawk made by Airfix. This was a potluck gift for one of church youth group people at the end of year Xmas party. I tried to arrange that whoever got this gift from me I would of traded whatever I got. Little did I know but another guy there was already (I think) into modelling and he had brought a model as a gift as well. As luck would have it the Kittyhawk landed up on his lap and that was that, no ways was he going to surrender the Kittyhawk. His gift landed up on my lap, an Airfix Hurricane MkIV and in the end we both went away happy. He got the better end of the deal though, my gift included a tube of Britfix glue.
