How are we going to identify each other? I have a UK2000 beta tester ID card around my neck when I visit the show.

Nobody could miss me, I always wear silly hats, that forum avatar pic of me is by no means unusual lol

I shall be there as usual together with Pete Dowson and his son John who is learning the business. Look forward to seeing familiar faces and hopefully a few new ones.

We really should get a group photo. I can recall those all the way back to the early years of the millennium outside the National Motorcycle Museum near Brum.

Such a shame when it was destroyed by fire around 2008 or so. I'm 6ft 5in with lots of grey hair so you should be able to spot me.

I spotted you last year Ray, when you were flying Concorde.  But we didn't get chance to speak.  That's when I met  @Christopher Low for about 5 seconds.  I think I had to head back to London.

That was two years ago Erich. They are getting a bit stingy about free space for flight clubs so I haven't been able to bring my system since. In any case it does rather tie you to your PC and I couldn't see much of the show or visit the lecture theatre.

Hope to have a longer chat this time Erich.

I have been threatening to go for the past nine years! Maybe this year I’ll make the effort 😀

The FS show is in a single hangar. Your ticket also gives you free access to an excellent museum with many famous aircraft including an Avro Vulcan, De Havilland Mosquito and TSR2 - a supersonic fighter scrapped by the then govt in 1965.

There are several lectures in a dedicated auditorium when you need to rest your feet. It’s a great day out.

Darn it.  Tried hard but can't change the date of something else.  Next year Ray!

Pity. Hope to see you next year Dean.

I'll be there with my grandson (13), who thinks the whole event is 'cool', and the VR headsets 'awsome'.
