Thinking of going in September to this event. Had a look on the website but was wondering if anybody has been before and whether its any good?

Handy for networking, and stocking up on pens, pencils, keyrings, free magazine subscriptions etc.

I usually go if I can, will probably fly up.

It's not an "airshow" as such, it's serious "shop" - trade exhibitors, sales, business networking and so on. Much more a show for engineers and businessmen than pilots or spotters.

But, if you are looking to stay up to speed on what's going on in the "kit" world, it's a worthwhile trip.

and probably as last year, half a day at the show, half a day in the museum

Come to think of it, if anybody wants to cost-share up from Popham in my fastish cheap 4-seat plank, I'm open to offers - about an hour each way and should cost about £100 between us for the round trip (i.e. £25 each).

Shame it's not at Redhill anymore - it was fun getting the motor towed out of the mud with the resident tractor !

[Cyclic Hotline]

And always fun to see those suits and wellies - most alluring combination!

[STANDTO]

can someone get me a couple of keyrings please. Can't find a justifiable excuse to get there, even though I spent two hours trying to argue a business case for police air support for next yrs TT this morn.

[What Limits]

Why don't you argue the case for a combined Police/HEMS aircraft. The IOM is crying out for a combined opertaion, but I guess that it could not afford either in isolation?
