There was quite a lot of hunter cockpit parts, gun sights, Harvard canopies, Harvard tail fin, 8 or so control sticks inc Vulcan, meteor, apache, sea king, Wessex, tornado. I like this event and will definitely attend again, it has the real possibility of growing if a few more dealers could support it next year. With the decline of popham it will hopefully grow year on year. Enjoyed it, thanks to all those involved.

Yes. Got a good selection of BAC 111 cabin and cockpit fittings, including drop-down masks and smoke masks for a bargain-basement price.
Also, a rather nice F-15 Eagle windscreen in fine condition and sporting some v. nice vinyl decals.
And… a couple of brand-new caravan type portaloos!
Plus, some ejection seat stuff and some books.
I think that was it.
As expected; a splendid reception from the helpful and friendly members and the ever-growing aircraft collection – a nice NF11 Meteor had not long arrived. Also, the newly-restored Slingsby T.21 glider was on display – what a beauty. I recall helping to move the pitiful remains of this quite historic machine into the hangar at Hooton Park around 5 years ago. I never would have believed it would be restored and look this good.
Looking forward to next year’s event already!

I’ll definitely be there – though I can’t decide whether I’ll be having a stall or not.
Looking forward to it, and meeting the folks there as well as seeing the latest progress with their fine collection.
