A two valve radio control receiver (Mr Hill design) built by T T as an O Level school project in 1956.

The Beginnings of radio control Kits probably started in the 1960s with offerings similar to the 'Gallatrol Galloping Ghost' system bellow.

The Gallatrol building instructions were in the form of a 16 page booklet 7" X 5" (trade size), and pushed into the magazine, a little like the magazine in a Sunday newspaper but much smaller. A page example is shown above.

More detail of above on Appendix 4 for nostalgia !
