Nemo Engineering will proudly display a society badge and a copy of “Moving to P4” . :D . Beyond that I can’t say unless the executive has more in travel expenses that I think they do.

Cheers,

David

Day one of the show done and dusted. Sadly I have to head home, so am now reflecting on an excellent day while sipping a cold beer in the departure lounge at Pierson Airport.

Nemo Engineering got a lot of interest, and Dave Knight did the Society proud. Everything ran perfectly, and a lot of comments regarding smooth running.

Rapido UK showed up with their new releases, and for some reason I am craving that ridiculous Bagnall….

Thanks for the pix Neil, I’ll try to add a few more later. Note to self, must get foundations sorted on “floating” buildings :oops:

Cheers,
