hi David Good to see you back..................gosh they really knew how to make aeroplanes at Blackburn didn't they? I will have to confess that I've never heard of the Sprat - nor for that matter the Vendace - must pay more attention. Have you heard that the last remaining Beverley has been sold (...

With the exception of Telford it looks like most shows, certainly in the earlier part of the are cancelled, or the rather more positive approach 'postponed' until Next year (Cosford and Milton Keynes have taken this route).

Sig 144 members will undoubtedly find a way to get to the shows.........

A while back, via the good offices of a fellow member I was able to get hold of some 'Triple Nuts' models. These are produced on a very limited run basis by a small company in Japan. The subjects are very interesting and the level of detail apparent astonishing. The main problem with 3D is releasing...
