anyone going to Shoreham tomorrow?

I thought it was quiet, Cees. Down on stalls (particularly those selling “hardware” as against books and kits etc) and visitors, but still hugely enjoyable.

I’m not sure there were too many bargains to be had, but I could not resist the 1939 dated British, Mk. X bombsight, a real rarity. It adds to my bombsight collection nicely.

For those of us “up North”, we still have Dave Farnsworth’s event at Whitwick, and a small “local” one at Ellesmere Port to look forward to, before winter sets in. Then it’s back to Shoreham in March 2005, and here we go again..!

Thanks Al,

So you were lucky again. Strange how it always seems possible to fill some gaps in the collection at moments when you don’t expect it.

Hi MarkG,

Yes, it’s Sunday, 7th November, and as far as I can recall, it’s back at the old venue, which is the Sports Centre in Whitwick (not hard to find, and there are signs for the ‘jumble).

There’s usually a good selection of stalls, and many of them do not make it down to Shoreham and Popham, etc, so there’s always a chance of a new “find” or two.

I think it had become a very good event in the last few years, but then it seems to have suffered a set-back after the switch from Saturday to Sunday. But, it deserves our support (particularly from the southern half of the country…), and hopefully it will get back into it’s stride.

Do you have any details of the Whitwick event Alan? After the first one of the year was cancelled I heard that the later one would go ahead but I’ve heard nothing since.

Do you have a date for it yet? Also, any truth in the rumour that it’ll be at a different venue?

BTW, I agree on Shoreham. Fewer ‘proper’ aerojumble stalls and a noticable reduction in the number of visitors I thought. Still had a good time though as it’s a great place to meet up with people.

Well, how was Shoreham yesterday?

I will be there as usual. Can’t buy much though as I am in my Smart ForTwo!!!! Doing the Smart London to Brighton Run on Sunday! If my ‘co-pilot’ was not with me I would call on Geoff and his lovely museum

Dear Cees

I cannot make it (again). Hope you find any interesting bits and pieces, but please leave the Halifax bits for next time. 😉
