So out of this whole community there are only 4 of us going? I also thought that Ian might have responded since he began the thread?

Hi all, I had a good day at Duxford , and it was busy most of the time in the tent. I was a little suprised at the amount of traders it was up on last year by 10% or so . The models entered in the comps were of a very high standard but down on numbers . Too much white cloth . I could not fault the results and was glad I am no longer judging at comps .
I saw plenty of old friends and made a few new ones along the way. To me the highlight was seeing John and his display of injection mould sections and the masters for the light gun. But then I have been lucky enough to see it at a local show in Spalding for the last 3 years . I had a bit of trouble camera wise so I was not able to take any photos. All in all a very good day out cheers ian
