Here's the Pic-Fest, for what it is anyway. I only took some of our SIG stand as there seemed to be almost zero Whiffing activity elsewhere this year, which goes against recent trends.



General view of the stand, with the Greeting Crew in full welcoming mode....  ;D




Eastern end of the stand, note OGL's MONSTER saucer!  :o




Centre section of the stand




Western end with Weaver trying to explain why and how we do it.....  ;D




A pretty wonderful AEW something, but I know little of it. Hopefully OGL knows a lot more about it.




Mike McEvoy's wonderful MB5 4-ship display. Guess who left his own two MB5s on the sideboard at home?  :banghead:




Another 4-ship display, this time of Super Hunters. Three of Howard of Effingham's and one of mine. You don't really notice the increased sweepback without a standard Hunter nearby.




Weaver's wonderful EE P7D.




Another Weaver Wonderful, this time the hysterical Spackman Aerospace H.A.T.  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

I did see another swing-wing Lightning going out in somebody's packing box at the end, but I never noticed it in the show I'm afraid.

Glad the H.A.T. still raises a chuckle. For those not familiar, the details are here: http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,38469.60.html  :thumbsup:

That would have been Andy Luxston's  one. It was on his large display of uk projects/experimental aircraft. The aew hs125 on our stand was also his.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Thank's for the pictures Kit  :thumbsup:

Nice display lads, glad you had fun
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Steel Penguin

sorry folks, no pics from the Penguin, I still have an aversion to legalese, and every photo site ive looked at has tried to drown me in it.   and once again id forgotten my camera anyway  :banghead:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront
