Heathrow Aviation Enthusiasts Fair, Kempton Park, Sunday 11th May 2008

Adrian · 03-12-2008, 08:05 AM

Once again, I shall be there, will you? Much better than when it was at Feltham.

crownvic · 03-14-2008, 09:52 AM

Okay Im confused, I am attending the Gatwick fair weeks before....please tell me the difference!

GliderPilot · 03-20-2008, 11:51 AM

Heathrow fair every 4 months or so, Gatwick fair only once a year. Usually same sort of stuff at both.

Prestwick Pioneer · 03-20-2008, 12:09 PM

I shall be at Gatwick, will do this too if i can get the time of work!!

Sandy- I have a table booked at LGW08 so see you there?

C-Rex · 03-20-2008, 07:17 PM

I'll be seeing you guys at the LGW08.

How can I find you at the LGW fair, Adrian and PP... ?
I've seen a picture CV already, so I don't think that's a problem.
Anybody else coming ? The LHReFair is very tempting as well.

crownvic · 03-20-2008, 07:53 PM

Look forward to meeting you C-Rex! I will have a table and will be wearing a Gemini Jets polo shirt!!! I owe you a drink for the work you have done for me in the past!

I hope to meet others too!

iberia spotter · 03-21-2008, 09:53 AM

I will be attending both fairs, Gatwick and Heathrow - can't wait for the event, not much longer now!!

mjabbasi · 03-21-2008, 11:07 AM

Damn and I'm arriving in the UK a week later.

I'll introduce myself to you then!

mjabbasi · 03-24-2008, 10:52 AM

I'm trying to change my schedule to arrive at LHR on Saturday the 10th of May in order to be able to check out this event. Can someone kind of give me directions on the best way of getting there from Harlington, Middx?

Also will there be stalls selling stuff like models and airline memorabilia? What are the timings or the best time to get there? Thanks.

Yes, i may even pop down the night before. I am considering getting a table to get rid of some of my aviation things, but nothing certain yet.

So where abouts is it then??

I know only too well where Feltham is having passed through it umpteen times on the train, but that's not much use I'd imagine!

GliderPilot · 03-28-2008, 05:35 AM

Kempton Park racecourse.

Roarer · 03-28-2008, 01:13 PM

That occurred to me after I wrote it, thanks anyway.

Not much of a Horse racing person you see.

Adrian · 05-02-2008, 04:48 AM

Just a reminder:

Heathrow Aircraft Enthusiast's Fair
Sunday 11th May 2008, Kempton Park Racecourse, Staines Road East, Sunbury-On-Thames, TW16 5AQ Middx, England

That's NEXT weekend. I'll be there but buying and not selling this time!

mjabbasi · 05-02-2008, 11:58 AM

I'll be there too hopefully.

Prestwick Pioneer · 05-03-2008, 06:43 AM

I may have a table and if anyone wants to share a table, then PM me, cos I have loads of models to trade, plus books etc......

GliderPilot · 05-09-2008, 12:15 PM

Forecast for the weekend is good, so I'm going gliding instead. Done precious little this year so far. Enjoy the show.

mjabbasi · 05-11-2008, 02:20 PM

I went to the show. Apparently the turnout wasn't so good but I got a few good deals. Picked up the following models:

1:200 Starjets LH A321 GBP 5.00
1:200 FM JMC A332 GBP 3.00
1:200 FM My Travel A332 GBP 3.00
1:200 Lupa Maersk (new livery) 737-700 GBP 3.00
1:200 Unknown manufacturer AF Concorde GBP 12.00
1:250 Wooster SV 741 GBP 3.00
1:250 Wooster BA 777 GBP 4.00
1:400 BB400 AF 742 GBP 5.00
1:144 Airfix BA Trident (1976 kit) GBP 8.00
1:144 Airfix Dan Air Comet 4B (1980 kit) GBP 8.00

The next show is on 14th Dec and I'll be here in the UK and will attend that one too.

Adrian · 05-13-2008, 04:50 AM

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!

Roarer · 05-14-2008, 08:35 AM

I'll be at the December one. probably.
