Anyone planning on going to this year's Smallspace show? For those who don't know, it's scheduled for Sunday 7th July, in the usual place of Hanslope Village Hall in sunny (we hope! ) Buckinghamshire.
I haven't been for a couple of years -- Hanslope is equally inconvenient and time-consuming to get to, regardless of whether I come from Bristol or Manchester -- but I'm going to make the effort this time around, not least because the show is celebrating 50 years since Apollo 11 (also 10 and 12 IIRC, but 11 gets all the hype ), so there should be some good stuff there to see.

I may well attend, although I had forgotten it was this weekend!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Well, the show has been and gone, and I enjoyed it as usual. I even ran into Mat Irvine, a sometime correspondent, and he seemed to remember me (or pretended to rather well ).
I took a lot of pictures -- well, about three dozen, which seems like a lot to me . Rather than chew up bandwidth by putting them up here, here's a link to the Flickr album with them in it:

Good show, with lots of the usual stuff, and well worth the effort to get there.

I so want that Skydiver I've seen one built as a working kit but missed him running it and diving it.
Good range of pictures.

Thanks for sharing. I am not familiar with that show.
