mutley 4,498 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Here are a few snaps I took of the show. Many of them were taken by Steph (hlminx) as it was difficult to get away from the stand Friday: Set up day, I had just been for a coffee in the visitor centre. My trusty van for the weekend, I just had too much stuff to fit in the back of my car! Several hours later, Tim had arrived and was getting his Plan-G display ready. Friday night, Joe and Tim at the bar (where else!) ATWC Baton made by John Allard, ready for a live handover later. (See Tim's ATWC post) Matt Davies and his crew, Matt is also the developer of PTA V2. Chillblast has a huge stand and a couple of visitors bought complete systems and took them away! John Venema, note the curved display in the background, John said it was shipped in from NZ the day before. Jess skyving, get back to your stand! James May 1:1 Airfix Kit of the Spitfire. Joe and Edward (The Red Barron) last time I met Ed was at Weston Super Mare show in 2009, he was two foot shorter then! Visitors having a go. Steph "Does my bum look big in this?" J G and J G Jnr (left) Ah, the selfie man, Lewis from A2A. Dave Perry picking up his prize, we had 10 copies of FSW and Epic Approaches to give away and the winners were drawn by Aimee Sanjari from DoveTail That's it, there was so much more going on but I was in the middle of it all. I know Steph took some shots on her own camera and if anyone else has any piccys then please add to this thread. Joe 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lionwing 71 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks for sharing Joe. Looks like a great day was had by all. Events like this really bring the community together and with plenty of well known developers in attendance I bet some of the conversations were very interesting. I have half a mind to look into a stand for the VA I run for the next show. We did one many years ago (1999 I think) at the Motorcycle Museum and had a great weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Enjoyed the shots Joe(and Steph), it's always nice to see the good times when one can't make the show. Was wondering how many people go to this show that are not simmers and are interested in the hobby? Just a couple of comments, Scott from A2A should really lay into Lewis for always looking like a street bum while representing, and Steph looked just fine in those jeans.

It was good too! All in all it was a cracking weekend, and I’m just about recovered now. I was great seeing Steph again, and because I didn’t get a chance to say so on the weekend, I loved your boots. bring on next weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 You got more of a look round than I did - I didn't even know the James May Airfix Spitfire was there! (I watched him make it on the telly, lol) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
OzWookiee 151 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Great pics. Seems like there is also an OzFlightSim con up on the Sunshine Coast. Might try to go next year and get some coverage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks for sharing these nice pics Joe. I hope to be there next year! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The red barron 41 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks for sharing the pics. It was indeed a good day out, nice to put some faces to names. There was indeed a lot of people there, and everyone seemed in high spirits; in fact some are saying that this year's show was one of the best for a number of years; well worth going if you can make it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Great shots and looks like it was a very good show. Maybe, just maybe, one of these years... John Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) You guys get all the fun. Looks like it was a terrific show and very busy. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a ticket to Cosford, but if it ever comes over this side of the world...see you there!!!

hlminx 301 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Was a great show, although now I look back at the pics, i realise that i spent far too much time enjoying myself than taking photos Here are a few more... The ProSim 737 stand was an interesting one.... although i resisted the temptation to bounce around like a maniac till i was given a free cuddly plane gonk! Nice set up at the Skalarki stand Joe, Tim, and the 'guru' from FIP Guages. Fab guy.Check out the review here: http://www.mutleyshangar.com/reviews/jg/bs-fip/bs-fip.htm Jess as photogenic as ever. No chocolate cake this year so i brought the Lemon Drizzle to her.. Was great to meet the 'Red Baron', 'J.G.' and son, and Matt Davies who is in the throes of developing PTA V2..lovely guy 3 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,315 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 The world we live in is a truly spectacular place filled with many wonders and being self sustaining has to be the greatest of all feats along with human beings. The proof that the higher power that created it all has a mean streak are things like flies, mosquitoes, acne and weight gain. Congrats on beating one of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

John I think that's covered by just looking at my feet on the human side of things, flooding beach homeowners on the world side and this fellow on the animal side. Link to post Share on other sites
