Bigger and better quilt shows?

working 3 days a week ain’t gonna pay enough to live in overrated Surrey I’m afraid

For christ’s sake, Hendon is free to get into. Where else in the world can you see a Vulcan, Lancaster, B17, B24, Wellington, ‘Halifax’, Beaufighter, P47 et al all under one roof??? Same goes for the Battle of Britain and Graeme White hangars. If you don’t like it stay away!

With regard to the Halifax nose section, it is not an active project at the moment, remaining in the long queue for restoration:

Well it should be! Hopefully the Casa isn’t in front of it in the queue…
