Right the final paper work has arrived. We are down near the loading doors. IPMS Tyneside is next door to us.

We have 6 foot double depth, So the two models per member guideline will be in force. Unless we have a small turn out.

There goes the neighbourhood !!!  ;)

Double depth is nice but the 6ft frontage means its going to be rather cramped behind the table as that could mean 4ft at the rear with space for about 2-3 SIG members plus the associated clutter of carrying boxes, food bags and of course stash acquisitions  ;D. So make sure you wearing comfy shoes as most of us will be spending the day stood up or walking round.

Wheres Mike staying. Has it got a bar,do they have taxis in Huddersfield? Surely something can be arranged.



My input; we network to meet at his hotel and have drink there if the bar doesnt serve decent Yorkshire ale then........ Taxi to Head of steam and taxi from there to the garden of death (other curry houses are available). Four in a taxi will share cost the rest use Shanks's to move from various venues. I take it we dont have a designated driver?................ off course not.................ill get me coat.

Where are the pictures?
;)
Christ almighty.
Let us have the show first.
We haven't  even got the hall for set up yet.

Get a move on then!

Ok.

Just for the ones who cannot seem to wait, here is the latest pic from the 2014 Huddersfield show.

Yay!  Good man.  Not bothered about any more pics now!  ;) :thumbsup:

Just got back - good day and nice to see everyone.

Score was two sold, three bought, which might not seem like progress, but is a lot better than Bolton (none sold, eleven bought.... :blink:)


LOST AND FOUND SECTION:

There was a lot of confusion due to various people's under-the-counter sales being crammed into a small space.

I've just got home to find a vac-form canopy at the bottom of my box. Not mine, don't know what it's off, don't know who's it is. Looks like it's from a tandem two-seater and it's about 55mm long. Please PM me if you know who's it is.

Looks like an Airmodel Meteor NF14 canopy.

Don't think so: the back end of the NF.14 canopy is a pure bubble, whereas this one has a distinct frame line near the back.

Pics as promised, the colour is a bit odd insome. Combination of background, overhead lighting and a lot of ineptitude I'm afraid. Also apologies if I missed anyone

tha's a hurricane with all the fabric bits painted humbrol authentics 'clear dope'. the engine arrangement was a
bit involved. inspired by the putnam book on hawker aircraft, i wondered what a halfway house between a
biplane Fury and a hurricane would look like, thinking it would have to be powered by a RR kestrel. orginally the
engine would have been the other way up, but it looked wrong. i pinched the engine from the revell He-70 kit.

I've had a few say that, stick some wheels on it and paint it blue!  It's the Avro Z.101, a manned research version of Blue Steel.  A real project with a fair bit of detail design done and would have been Britian's X-15.  More details:
