Got my train tickets sorted yesterday, arrived today.

The West Coast Line from London has always been one of the priciest for some reason (London to Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow are/were busy business rotes I suppose), but this was daft. I paid the same for a Standard return London/Telford as I recently paid for First Class London/Newcastle and substantially more than First Class London/Worcester returns which are different operators. Indeed GNER is now back in public hands

Market economics at their "best"  :-X

You not feeling well? or did I miss read that..............

No, you read it correctly.  I have more than enough now.  Although I'm sure I'll buy at least one for appearance sake.

I have an ethical aversion to anything Luftwaffe, be it wearing their markings to their lickspittle collaborationist allies.

Well it'll all be over in 5 weeks time.  I wonder how busy it'll be, which traders will show, how many overseas visitors (traders and punters) will make the trip, and will Airfix preview the 2022 release plan and have a 'Big Announcement' kit?

I don't think there will be any announcement, as Airfix won't be at Telford. I understand Hornby policy is no public attendances this year due to Covid (same for railway shows). We will have to wait till January... :-\

Thanks Colin for the Airfix info, wasn't aware. 

So London Toy Fair for announcements regarding the new 1/72 Lysander and Javelin, then 😉

So did I, with a demand I do some well over complex authorisation for GPDR accreditation. :(
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! :)

Not going.
