With a bit of creative scheduling I'll be there too, for the first time!
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! :)

I spent a little time at RAF Mildenhall when I was in the USAF reserves. Nice area, wish I could make it.

Aw Mildenhall. A place i spent quite a bit of time at in my late teens / early 20's.
My dad was working on a contract on base to lay a new water main. My name would appear on the security list most weekends. I even had my own flight line driving permit......despite not having a full driving licence at the time. The little site dumper was my usual ride.
I can still recall being chased up the main taxi way by a southern air transport 707 on that thing.
I always hope for the best.

I will be trading at this one, and displaying the IPMS Douglas Propliner SIG too.

If anyone is after a particular item please pm me and I will try and bring it along.

I just checked the location on Google Maps (hey, everyone needs a hobby) and there's no pubs anywhere near it.  ;D

I didn't even know there WAS an IPMS Douglas Propliner SIG!

Is there an equivalent IPMS Douglas Jetliner SIG?

The Floods is the nearest pub and it's only a 15 minute walk. You can sit in their garden by the river and watch the swans and seals annoy the fishermen. The view is practically a Constable painting.
