Well, Gaydon is approaching no longer in 3 months, but in something like 3 days.
Wonder if my box will have found the way back to Gaydon............
Hope to see you all there.
Gerdi,

I called in 2day and they told me that they do not hold lost property longer than 3 months.  Sorry m8.... :(



Gerdi, I called in and posted this last week but I didn't know if you had read it???

Joe.

See you Sunday.

By the way the pictures not me it's my son!

Sorry Joe, I didn't read that. Thanks for the effort.
Anyway, I still don't think it is there. In my opinion it is somewhere in some modeller's house  :D
Maybe.......... maybe............ maybe.............
I will see Saturday morning.
In the meantime I have bought some new covering stuff.

Two cameras are better than one, what say we start at both ends and finish in the middle, last one to the centre buys the ice creams?

 :P

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

Thanks Keith

last year was my first visit and i ran around snapping away like a kid in a candy shop! As I'm exhibiting this year, I'll be spending most of my time with the table but when I do go to take pics, I'll be concentrating on those trucks I plan to make models of and making sure I get the info I think I'll need, hopefully talking to the owners to get interior shots etc. Last year I had 300 shots to go at, got a new memory card so 1300 pics to go at this time 8)

Got back last night, had a great time, met lots of people, all really friendly and just downloaded the 400 or so pics to the computer  :o. They will take an age to upload to photobucket but I tried to get lots of chassis shots of stuff that's available as kits so hopefully they should end up in the reference section sometime!

Hi Gerdi,
I had seen your post on TMW and am sorry to hear of the loss of your box. The cynical side of me would think someone thought there may have been something of value in the box and took it to find out. If that was the case, I would guess they disposed of it when they found it was more personal than valuable. I hope I'm wrong and that when you turn up it will be sitting waiting for you but I don't think life is like that. However if it is there, I suggest you buy a lottery ticket right away ;)
Hi all, sorry to dig up this old topic, but as it looks now, it seems I have to buy that lottery ticket next weekend.
Last week I got an email from the museum, asking if I was coming this year, if so I could pick up my box, they have found it !!!
So fingers crossed next weekend  :thumbsupup:
