SMW (Telford) 2025

[Weaver]

I'll skip the food and booze.

Not that I don't want to socialize, but I'm driving home on the Saturday night, so no booze, and I'm on my special diet, so I don't want to make a nuisance of myself in a restaurant.

Unfortunately I will also be heading home on Saturday evening, so will be unable to partake of the evening's activities. But there's always the bar at lunchtime.....

Is anyone else entering the Whiff Class (32) otherwise known as 'The Mushroom', this year?

Roger Wallsgrove persuaded me to enter my Bv 148 this year, so I have.

My Manchester MkIII has successfully landed in Hereford, and Rheged will be flying it up to Telford, so maybe I could enter it. Any special criteria?

Too busy at the moment. Oh well, I build for me anyway.

Good man. My Nord 1550 Busard superharrier will be keeping it company.
The more of us the merrier.

I agree, most years all the competitors are NOT members of the SIG, which is a bit strange really.

2 and a bit hours to go yet....................

I'm up for a pint and a curry 

Just the one pint?     

I'm getting old Martin

Right gents, just a reminder that if anyone attending the show is after anything specific to let it be known and then the ensembled masses can keep their eyes peeled at the show and let them know where abouts it is. It's amazing how often you don't spot what your'e after and yet spot lots of things others are

You'll be lucky these days, it's well OOP.

But I think I have one in The Loft, I'll have a look when I get home tomorrow.

The only thing I'm looking for that isn't new is a cheap Matchbox 1/72nd F-101B/G Voodoo.

Literally the only parts I want are two sets of the long - B model exhausts. I have one Matchbox model already, so I just need one more.  I don't care about anything else, so tatty box, incomplete kit etc doesn't matter, as long as the nozzles are there and the price fairly reflects the condition.

As an alternative, I'd be interested in one or two sets of superior aftermarket nozzles (if such things exist).

That would be jolly spiffing of you, old chap.

[Charlie_c67]

Well I know @kitbasher will have something for me and I will have some bombs for @Steel Penguin. Will probably do the drop off/pick up from the group stand around lunchtime on Saturday when the crowd thins a little bit if that's ok with you chaps?!
