Are there any pix?

Brother's Narses and Jaybee took on the mantle of official lens men. Im sure they will post their photos in due course

Fantastic! Wish I could have been there.

The parasol fighter, is that Terry's?

Congratulations to the people who pulled this off,

Errrmm, I'm afraid not, you obviously haven't researched your subject properly.  That's a pack that Kit biccy-bashed to create the ultra-biscuit, the Jaffa-Hob.  He's currently working on the ultimate pinnacle of biccy-heaven, the chocolate-chip jaffa-hob, eh kit?

Exactly, the Jaffa Cake packet was just a 'working title' of course.

In any case you said you weren't coming Duncan so we wouldn't have been so cruel as to have had any there without you, would we...........?

Looks like I screwed up on the cropping of the piccies, I thought I'd missed out the biccies entirely......

Ta.  I particularly like the AEW Lancaster.  Looks somewhat familiar!

Good job Jim, that's very comprehensive coverage. 

[NARSES2]

Cheers Jim

Got back late yesterday so I'll download my pics, crop them, upload them and post them over the next day or so  .

Won't bother with tables 1 & 2 as Jim's done that but will post my table 3 pics plus the IPMS Farnborough true/false builds  

Edit :

Having just seen Jim's second thread no need for me to post.  Cheers mate 

[NARSES2]

Really enjoyable day lads so thanks a lot, and Mossie got home without using the M6 Toll as well

By any chance did anyone take a piccie of the official display for the Bristol 188?

I'm talking about the triangular displays dotted about the museum at various places, and not necessarily near their subject! The 188 one was right in front of the Farnborough stand, the one with the Hawker Harlot and Airco 4x4 models. 

I ask because there was a perfect piccie of a 188 Whiff on there, showing the 188 on finals at Farnborough with its Hunter chase aircraft behind it. But the only part of the Hunter visible was the fin and tailplane, and it looked for all the world as if the fin was mounted mid-way along the spine of the 188! 

I meant to take a piccie but the show closed an hour before I thought it would.

Rad's parasol Spitfire brightened two small girl's day. They were being dragged around by dad looking thoroughly bored until they spotted Rad's Spit - the giggles and smiles that followed were infectious 

[Radish]

Glad about that
