Was there all three days and weather certainly a pain. Despite this I suspect the exhibitors would have been happy with the volume of interested people (after all how many people are interested in spsnding almost £2m on a TBM700?).

Not a great show for photographs as the light was generally poor.

The flight sim on the Garmin stand was worth practicing some instrument flying on (Thanks Steve) but the Frasca was a bonus. Did a few Instrument approaches than sat next to Nick Bloom (deputy ed of P***T mag) who insisted on showing off his aero routine in the Seminole. Felt very sick with the visual cues not matching the physical sensation so decided to pull the power on him on one engine during take off!.

The layout and exhibitor space this year was much better and I agree that I can't tire of seeing Dennis Kenyon demonstrate the things you cant do in a helicopter. Not as exciting but still a draw for me was Tracey Martin in the Bell 47. Great machine.
