Kenley Aerojumble 2021

Next one for the diary, Kenley Aerojumble 3rd October 2021. More details in the picture below. 

Thanks Rob.

Overall then perhaps a bit disappointing but you’ve got to start somewhere, so well done the organisers and the sellers/visitors who made the effort to support them.

I’m looking forward to Newark’s event this weekend.  The weather forecast differs according to which site you read so I’ll have to dig out the awning, just in case it’s a bit damp.  Hopefully, it won’t be needed on the day!

Looks like I was the only one there then. My first time at Kenley and my first aeroboot for a couple of years. On arrival it was light drizzle that at first kept some of the traders from uncovering their stock, but as the light rain persisted they slowly came off. Lots of books and model kits on offer with some nice travel agent models. On the parts front it seemed a bit thin, with some dig items from various sites plus of note I noticed a seen before Miles Martinet windscreen frame, NOS stick tops for the Sea Vixen and Javelin and very briefly a very nice spade grip that quickly disappeared back under a sheet.

I can’t say it looked particularly well attended or that there was an abundance of items on offer, but it felt really good to be out and about again. To end the visit I took a stroll along Kenleys hallowed runways – for me worth the journey on their own!

Nothing to report?  Hope all went well, good attendance, decent weather etc?

The Last thread bump for this aerojumble event which will take place this time next week! See banner below: 

I agree with you Alan, autojumbles do compliment the aerojumbles quite nicely as proven at previous events at Kenley, as well as Popham. Sadly this year it is not to be and the aerojumble will run by itself, The last aerojumble event at Kenley ran without the autojumble and there was still a good turn out of customers.

On a separate note I suppose we all have to be grateful for what events are running this year which seem few and far between, on the aerojumble side there is Kenley and a couple of aeroboot events at Newark this summer, if anyone is aware of any other aerojumble events throughout the country please feel free to post here as it’s all about getting the best publicity for these events to continue and grow. 

I was considering whether to make the long trek down to Kenley, if only to gauge the feel of aerojumbling in the post-lockdown world, but it looks like the accompanying autojumble isn’t happening this year which would halve my customer base.  Maybe another time.

Now that the country is opening up to some normality, I’ll give this aerojumble event another bump. Pitches still available for those who are interested in selling. Once I find out the opening times for buyers I’ll place it on here to.
