Well another year over! Forum members did very well in the prize giving, Steve has pictures of those on the forum tables and I'm sure there will be other pics from the weekend appearing. In the meantime, here is best in show, now if only I could remember who built it..... :shocked:

It was built by Ian Coles Andrew, a cracking model too

Many thanks for pics folks, looks like you had an excellent display and the usual success with the trophies. Sorry I couldn't make it this year but the clash of dates with Duxford due to moving the date of the Gaydon event meant that a long standing booking took preference. However, the cloak of Friday the 13th covered my weekend and a breakdown meant that I missed both events. I was sorry to read that Thurrock lost a model due to someone being a bit light fingered, I hope the model is returned and the culprit gets their just deserts. Well done everyone, I hope to be there next year

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on a memory stick somewhere!

After a long weekend abroad, and a good sleep, I'm alive and kicking again.
A real pleasure to meet and speak to everybody again (although I spent most of my time walking around :rolleyes:)
Thanks for sharing the pics :thumbsupup: cos I don't have any: my batteries gave up very soon and in the hurry of leaving home (some accident happened in the kitchen when packing my clothes (never leave eggs boiling when going upstairs, once the water is finished, they explode!! :grin:) , so an extra provisionary cleaning was demanded), I forgot the new ones  :evil:
The stolen model, that reminds me of my case "disappeared" one year, I got it back 4-5 years later, "untouched". Let's hope the model does the same.

Great to see everyone as usual and some great models on view. I got loads of inspiration but I have to confess the overlooking of my ERF which didn't place at all was somewhat disappointing. Leaves me wondering what I have to do. :angry:
