Unfortunately,

I could just possibly be around for this as I have to be up that way around those dates. Won't know for sure until next year

Well that was good day out, even if was just OGL, myself and Chrisonord there. Pictures will follow...

The new venue (in Nantwich) is good: a big hall similar to the old one, and much less cramped than the railway museum where it was held last year. Food was plentiful, decent quality and very reasonably priced too. The parking and unloading arrangements are a bit funky, but that's a feature of the site that the club can't control, and I daresy that if they stay there, familiarity on the part of both marshalls and punters will make things better next time.

I didn't spend much money, partly through lack of money and partly because a dodgy back (pulled it badly enough to go to the docs two weeks ago) made me want to spend far more time than usual sitting down. It was fun spending Chris's money for him though.... :wacko: ;)

1. No I don't have any other pics - sorry.

2. I suspect it's a kit associated with the DUST miniatures wargame: a Medium Combat Walker M2-C

I was going to say that they should have used an M41 as a basis for that build  :rolleyes: ;D

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yeah, what if mainstream early aircraft development had mostly been monoplane flying wings? That'd be a different history...
