Unfortunately I'm not sure what the going price may be, Mr Weaver sir. One of two silly priced (to me) on eBay, so dunno.
Max £10?
And I haven't forgotten there's a few items I still need to deliver to you so will bring those to MK.

Okay, noted.

I'm not doing MK, so don't take them if you're short of space.

Was quite a good show, hard on the feet as its spread about at least 4 hangers/halls and I have no idea if anything was in the main reception building as never made it that far.

The rain held off until strip down when a very heavy 10 minute shower struck at just the wring time, however the very blustery wind which whipped through the walkways between the upper hangers, cold war hall and then the lower hanger was really strong and made if difficult for some to get around or make use of the open spaces.

Only managed to have a close snoot at the Hercules C3 outside, wanted to go look up at Nimrod R1 as too windy to get decent shots  :-\

Managed to sell more of the stash than I bought and made a slight profit on the day so that was good, met up with a few of the crew and had a chat and the run back wasn't too bad so all in all not a bad day  :thumbsup:.

Martin H got the photos of the stand, so he'll get them posted up as and when he gets chance to downloaded them from the camera and post them to his Photobucket album.

It's a good show, but like you say, you need more time to see it all. In between showing my freind around the museum in the morning and then manning the stand for a decent time, I ended up doing a mad half-hour dash around the stalls just before quitting time.

Once I'd woken up I had fun, although I was a little subdued.

The word SUBDUED  appearing over your signature makes me wonder.......are you sickening for something?

You got to have an interesting conversation with  a Dalek though... ;D

And was that a good thing or a bad thing from your point of view?

Well I did consider it presumptious....we hadn't even hugged!!!

And her male Dalek friend, the Gold one, kept interrupting too.  :-\

Our conversation was intriguing though..... small Guide Daleks for visually challenged Daleks was one suggestion I made. :o
It was a good day....any photos?

Yes, that does look a tad overpowered, by a factor of about five I'd say!  ;D :lol:

What engines are they?

The display looked great, now I'm REALLY mad I couldn't make it, I'd have added a few more  to the Lightningfest.  ;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
