I am a bit confused by it all. We did the same prep and internet publicity as Aerobilia 1. The replies to the internet forum postings were not as good as A1. I popped a listing on Ebay which was up for 10 days. The second one was pulled after only 2 days and I was ‘spanked’ by Ebay!
We were trying to keep costs down to the stall holders (£16 which included 2 passes which is £1 off the price of admission for 2).
Goodwood Revival was on and that did have an effect.
As Andy has said before – use these events or lose them! There were some amazing bargains to be had.
We will be back next year – not sure when though – not sure when best time is, anymore!
Thankyou to all stall holders and punters who came. I can see that more advertising will be needed. Also the support of the aviation heritage scene!!! Just need to strike a balance between cost to stall holder/punter and to make it worthwhile.
Three stalls already set up today!
It should be fun!!!
Is there anybody out there?!!!!!
Still more stalls being booked!!! Come to Salisbury’s 4th most popular attraction!!!
Fantastic photo!! I would love to identify where that 109E grip came from Andy – the Hatfield dump one. I keep thinking that the WWW might help one day!!
Would love to have gone this year! Nothing compares to the Reno air racing event!
Just a reminder….Anyone else going? Are you still going Julian?
yep, 100% Hurricane, he even shows the stamps which, if rubbed a little, would say ‘H Ltd 1940’. Now my history may not be infallable, but, I dont think Hawkers ever built Spitfires!! The great pity is that he has some nice items for sale. Not even acknowledging a fault in the description of one items would put me off the others.
According to the head honcho, there are some brilliant new stalls booked in for the Aerobilia event this saturday. Including someone who has made quite a trip with some lovely WW2 stuff.
If anyone wants a late stall, he may still be able to squeeze you in!

We have parts with various thicknesses from our Mustang dig…..I guess the cariances can be due to different componets (i.e. quarterlight and canopy or turret – in your case) and also variances on some components due to manufacturing process (i.e. ‘wasting’ where there is a big convex curve as opposed to flat bits).
If anyone knows the best way to mend/i.e. glue perspex/plexiglass that would be appreciated!
yes they are! From 8am
Only 1 week to go!
Another good reason to go would be to see our lovely restored and painted Hunter! Please tell your friends about this delightful event!
Brilliant Andy! The Folland was Feb 1940. Nice plates
As with all digs around here Ian! Its a clone of our 7 year plus Mustang dig from that viewpoint.
Still sat there Baz. A van seems to be near it almost every day.
