A pretty good show, but attendance was down probably as it was only two weeks after LGW08 and the same traders were there with much the same stock! Also it was a gorgeous hot sunny day and I found many enthusiasts later on outside on Heathrow's approach spotting.

Met up with 'Prestwick Pioneer'(Sandy) and we did some good deals, but that was in the 'buying' category. Would be too frustrating for him to be tied behind a table,when there were 'goodies' to be bought! I know from experience and have missed out on bargains due to having to attend a table. Hey ho, next one will be on Sunday 14th December which is nicely timed just before Christmas and hopefully 'new' goodies to tempt!
