We would like to thank everyone who attended last Sunday, exhibiting or aerojumbling, or both. We think it was a reasonable first attempt, and it will be the first, because the warm reaction means we have already decided on CockpitsWest 2013, around the same time of the year. Notice it does now have an ‘s’ in the name but I don’t know how to amend the title of the thread.
We would also like to thank the Airport for hosting the event. I think everyone who goes there believes it to be a delightful general aviation airfield, with some very interesting aircraft based there. Alistair, the Manager, and Tony in ATC, have always been very supportive, so I’m certain we can make this an annual fixture in the calendar.
One thing we did not do was to put on publicity for the godfather of all such events, Cockpitfest, sorry about that, Howard. That will be one of the things we improve on next year.
By the way. Black Adder was sitting on its towing trailer on the entrance island. It’s a brilliant mobile exhibit, which can be handled easily by one person, but is a pain to take off the trailer and put on again, so we don’t.
The Overstrand cockpit is largely fitted out, we should have thought of steps, so people could get up to see it, but the turret was the main reason for it’s construction.
