That drive down to Bristol on October 9 is going to be one of the sweetest drives of my life. I can't wait to meet the organisers, and thank them whole heartedly for getting the UK Flightsim Show up and running again.

I wish I could make it over there to meet some of you guys. Alas, flying all that way is simply too much of an expense and hassle for me, so no can do.

We need somewhere about halfway between the U.S. and Europe where we can host these types of events. Bermuda is too far away from Europe, and the Azores and Iceland are a bit too far from us, unfortunately. Maybe Atlantis will rise up in the middle of the Atlantic and we could meet there in the future?

@Christopher Low , every month the NWFSG has a meeting in the village hall in Heald Green, right under the flight path into EGCC. Seeing the A380 at under 1,000ft is quite a sight.

We have one tomorrow and Chris of Fulcrum and me will be there. Visitors are welcome. £10 with food and drinks included. We have several members who bring their computers and WiFi is available.

Is Chris still selling gear? (Throttles I mean!) 🤭

I expect so. I bought one recently replacing the pre-production one.

@tutmeister ,potential customer. 😁

According to their Discord page, the support that they have received for a UK event has been phenomenal. Let's hope that this can be converted into phenomenal attendance on October 10 and 11 😎

where are you staying Chris?

Crabbs Causeway Premier Inn (just off Junction 17 of the M5). It is a relatively easy drive from there to Aerospace Bristol.

You may also be interested to know that the current plan is for Concorde to be open and accessible to everyone. Now, whether that means the Concorde hangar, or access to the aircraft itself is not clear at this time.

Has anyone asked if PMDG and FS Labs are attending this show? No mention on either forum.

Exhibitors are apparently not being revealed yet, Ray. If I see any confirmation about either of those two, I will let you know.
