Trains all sorted, so I shall see you next week 

   top banana, see you there.

Been in touch with Tony Kidd today, no change to the arrangements.  Some setting up happening on Friday afternoon that I can't at the moment make but I'll be there from 8:00 Saturday.

[Glenn Gilbertson]

I should be able to come - a first time at this show.
Have you plenty to display or would a contribution be helpful?

[kitbasher]

The more the merrier!  Space can/will be made.

My uncle Bill flew one sortie in the actual Phantom of the Ruhr in 1944 whilst serving on 550 Sqn.

Hmmm.  I appear to be experiencing the same issue regarding picture viewing that others have experienced in the last few weeks.  No images in the third post, very odd considering I posted them!

EDIT:  went to another thread, came back to this one a couple of minutes later and they're all visible.  🤷🏻

[NARSES2]

Neat little show and great to catch up with lads 

Thanks for the pictures Dave, I'm surprised you had time to take them considering the number of stints you did on the door 

As for the pictures size ? After clicking on the image on your pc to attach it, what image size do you choose to up-load it ?

[kitbasher]

I resize my pics on my lappy, going for 3.5 inch or 3 inch widths (ratio is automatically adjusted) before posting.  Sometimes with 'portrait' format I'll select 3.5 or 3 inch heights.

I'm aware of the forum's resizing option before uploading but I can never ever remember to note the pixel equivalents for the inch sizes.  Me being dim, nothing more.

Don't know what went wrong this time, went through the whole rigmarole twice before posting.  Will have another go tomorrow (busy today) to get more sensible sized pics.

Btw one pic I fouled up was of the impressive 1/12 model of Marilyn Monroe that was in the competition.  Getting used to my new phone's camera, using varios setting and chose the wrong one.

However the important thing about the day was catching up with you guys.
