Apart from the damage to models it sounds as though all had a good time.  Any pics in due course?

Bearing in mind the weather got worse as the evening progressed I'm just glad there wasn't as much damage as there could of been. If I'd of managed to get there, I'd still be there  :unsure: as the trains haven't started running properly yet  :-\

Glad you all had a good time  :thumbsup:

Aw crap  - sorry to hear you had damage and losses too folks.

The stupid thing is I always used to strap them, but since I only brought two boxes this time I didn't think it was worth the bother... :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

I even had a sack truck in the boot that could have been used to strap them to, but again, I didn't think I needed it. :rolleyes:

Next show I predict our carrying arrangements are going to look like we're exhibiting nuclear weapons...

It was a great show and it was even warm enough in there for me to take my jacket and jumper off!
Thanks to the lads for help in selling part of my stash - it covered my petrol bill.

Weaver is a bad influence  ;)  He persuaded me to buy an Airfix SRN-1 hovercraft. At the very least I will have it in the stash  :thumbsup:

I took a few photos of things that caught my eye but nothing major. I did get to see the controversial Luft-1919 delta monoplane that won Gold at Telford. It's a superb piece of scratchbuilt work in its own right.

All I did was buy one, tell you where I'd seen another, then tell you where I'd seen two more when it turned out that one had gone.
The hand that reached into your wallet and pulled the note out was all yours... :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:  :angel:

I did something vaguely similar at Telford, except I didn't fork out anything, simply took him along and showed him something  :angel:

My dad sent me a link to this vidio of the show. If you have a few hours to kill you get to see prity much every thing on display.
For just the What if and Project cancelled stands jump to 59:30 for those in a hurry  :wacko:

Indeed - how are you going to handle Spitfire control sticks with pixelated fingers?

Totally forgot about this and just got a fine through for £60.

Have to say, I never saw these tablets at any point. Were they there and I just didn't notice them, or did something go wrong and if so, is it worth appealing?

The tablets were on the counter at the public entrance. I saw at least 2 on one side when I did mine. There was an A4 notice on every table including ours... but Martin put the tablecloth over it!
