we are in hanger one again and by the aero engines and the varsity.
any requests for any of the previously exhibited stuff?  or shall I have a random rummage through the pile?   and I take it the traditional offering of mini rolls will be appreciated  :thumbsup:

Going from the paperwork we are in about the same spot as last year.

There's a distinct chance I may miss this - my auntie was on holiday in Eastbourne over the weekend and she's ended up in hospital. Elderly relatives are going down by train today, and I may have to go at the weekend or even sooner.

Jaybee has sent me a copy of the instruction for the Hase XF5U for Jeff Arnold from Shropshire IPMS, which I was going to hand over to him at Cosford. If it looks like I can't make it, can I send the files to somebody who is going for you to print out and hand over please?

I could do that, sure. My email address is in my profile here if you don't already have it.

Cheers Kit. I've come home to better news today, so, fingers crossed, I might still be able to make it to Cosford. I'll therefore hold off sending you the stuff until I know what the score is.

Thanks again.

OK, no probs H.

I'll be leaving home mid-morning on the Saturday if you do need them printed.

Okay the latest twist is that I MIGHT be able to go after all, but everything's still up in the air (so Kit, please still take the printouts).

If I do however, I may very well be arriving late and/or leaving early, so I won't bring any models for the table in order to avoid complicating things.

They're already printed off and in my Big Model Box.  ;D

I checked them against my Pegasus version of the same aircraft and came to the conclusion I really ought to get a Hase one.........  :o

Thanks a million Kit.

I've decided to NOT go to the show.

My auntie got home this evening and I've been round to see her. She's weak but basically okay, although the experience has obviously shaken her up quite a bit. Other people have made arrangements so that she's not alone tomorrow, but those arrangements are quite complicated and, in my judgement, quite vulnerable to disruption, so I've decided to stay local so that there's another pair of hands and another vehicle available if needed.

Have a good one folks. :thumbsup:

OK H, I've got the stuff right with me, and I'll be off to Cosford in an hour or so. I'll find Jeff and hand them over.
