The Bradley Files  

Phil Bradley was a master builder and an inspiration to many. He especially loved cranes, lorries, steam and fairground equipment (on which he was a recognised authority). Some of his models became the subject of early GMM supermodels while others appeared in Bert Love's books. He faithfully documented over 140 models with detailed notes and his own photos. After Phil's death Philip Webb was entrusted with his archive and Paul Joachim scanned the negatives. Philip has begun the painstaking task of restoring the photos, removing many defects and unhelpful background items and now presents them here in Phil's honour to inspire others.
