I am an enthusiastic photographer and past Chairman of the Beaumaris and Menai Bridge Camera Club. I have many other interests and involvements such as Audio Visual, Steam engines and marine steam, especially that of the Mills Compound Engine (Beaumaris Compound Engine) designed by my father Victor Percival Mills. I'm also interest in steamboats and manned model ships, model and miniature railways and the 5 inch gauge Joys of Life Railway, formerly known as the Penrhyn Garden Railway where my own designed and hand built petrol locomotive Welsh Pony operates. The 7.25 inch gauge is also being modelled including a 1/3 scale copy of an early North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (Welsh Highland railway) four-wheel coach and an American caboose recently been built for an enthusiast in Leicestershire. I also have a large collection of photographs of the Red Wharf Bay Railway on the Isle of Anglesey and give illustrated talks on the subject. Other smaller models include Gauge One (1/32 scale) and 7mm scale narrow Gauge in the form of Cwm Hir Quarry layout. Various types of Card models are also being investigated and designed. Yet another interest is in very early radio of which I have a collection of crystal and early 1920's valve radios and I'm a member of the local Friends of Marconi Society that celebrates the first transmissions to Australia without relay stations in 1921 from the old Marconi Station near Waenfawr. I am also the Secretary of the Gwynedd Engineering Society that meets six times a year in Bangor, Gwynedd.
