    1st time I have been it seemed smaller than one I went to last year in Gatwick, which is on again next month cant rember the date off hand,

    A few nice items sadly all out of my price range such as W&R3 for £25 too much for me sadly Just could not justify the outlay, I do collect them and would loved to have got it but not being able to work you cant spend that much on one book.

    Got some modling tools and three free paper plane concordes!
