I have a table and will be selling a big part of my 1:400 collection, mostly 747s, but a few other types as well. There are some rarities amongst them.

I'd love to be able to jump on a BA shuttle and head down, but unfortunately I'll be on parade for Remembrance Day.

Well that was a huge disappointment. First time I've left a show with nothing. Geoff Noble had his usual haul but that was about it. ARD had next to nothing. Left after 15 minutes...

Must say I disagree, it was MUCH better than manchester, there were some nice models around, ARD was ok, but ridiculously overpriced. I managed to find a stand that had a whole pile of 1:200 white metal models, I was in heaven and bought plenty of WWII props and a Sabre in 1:200. I just wish I had more money to spend!

The best part was probably meeting all the people from DAC, next time I am quite tempted to have a stand as I didn't manage to shift any of the models I took with me, perhaps eBay it is!

Guess it all depends on what you're after. I had a list of about 5 1/400's and didn't see any. They weren't exactly old releases either - from around Aug/Sep of this year.

Picked up 3 1:400 MD-11's at bargain prices and a Gemini 200 British Airways A321, G-EUXL, flew on the actual aircraft last year. I enjoyed the event.

Thought it was better upstairs. Seemed less crowded and easier to look around. Still only bought a spotting book. Saw loads of stuff modelswise but nothing that really grabbed me.
Radio Rally downstairs was also a bit diappointing.
But had a cracking day at Heathrow. Some excellent piccies with blue sky and sun.

Never saw you. But I left at 12 noon-ish ish. Could have met up later for spotting. What location did you go for ?
