Well, I did enjoy the show today.

First off, greeted by a Harrier at the entrance that apparently was saved from the pohms dumping it in a tip.
Didn't find much interesting in the stalls this year, but didn't look hard enough into the smaller stalls.
Lots of mil and corp stuff outside - the usual offerings and a bit more this year.
Going hyper-tech seems to be the biggest growth industry - UAVs, AWS, Helmets, etc. which seems to be leaving no limelight for ye traditional piston banger.
Great surprise to see the B1 arrive and taxi to a stop in front of me.
Got a good look-see of a G550, but apparently there were water plumbing issues on the 8X meaning I missed out.
As usual, I found the staff and exhibitors to be very friendly, thank you.
Finally left at 6pm as the RAN Squirrels doubled up their display.
