INTERVIEW
me. Since then I have had the idea
that we should hold similar lectures
at Eduard as part of the events
for modelers. But let‘s get back to
education. Are you thinking
of studying history?
Our recent joint presentation of the new FM-1 kit
in Prostějov was a bit like a history lecture. I have
a feeling the audience liked it. So I agree with
you, lectures would probably be an attractive
topic. I would love to study history, but due to
the increased amount of work at Eduard since
the spring 2022 crisis, and the serious health
situation of a family member, I can‘t imagine
finding the required time for study right now.
Following a college cursus while working is not
fun, I‘ve already tried it once.
We have a lot of work behind us,
and there are other big projects
ahead of us. We‘ve kind of made them
up together. But when it‘s all over,
we can go back to school. For
example, I have been tempted for
some time by the idea that I could
enter the Faculty of Arts and, with
a little effort, I could receive
a scholarship and a retirement
pension at the same time. What do
you think?
There are other colleagues thinking up new
projects with you, not just me. Last year I was
already interested in where it is possible to study
history remotely in the Czech Republic. I would
prefer to study it in Prague, but the extra-mural
study programme that would suit me has not
been open for several years. So we‘ll have to wait
a bit, maybe when I retire!
I‘d go to Pilsen! But we still have
plenty of time to decide, and in the
meantime we can write a few more
articles and practice our editorial
work. What are you writing now
and when will it be published?
Pilsen would be complicated for me. For the
March issue of INFO Eduard magazine I am
preparing a boxart story about one of Hannes
Trautloft‘s fights on the Eastern Front in 1942.
For REVI magazine I have an article about
a German fighter pilot from WWI called Marwede.
I think when he died in 1993 as a British citizen,
he was the last surviving German WW1 fighter
pilot. For REVI, I would also like to complete
a book on Heinz Bär, which my colleague Martin
Šíla and I have been working on for a long time.
So hopefully it will be completed in 2024.
Fingers crossed and thank you
for the interview!
Thank you too! Bunny Ho!
