To Bob and all going to Birchwood this year.

I went to the Birchwood today to check on parking and I can confirm that there is a huge free carpark, without height restrictions, just to the side and rear of the venue.

There is also a smashing little cafe inside which, in previous years, has served a delicious range of drinks and treats.

See you all there on August Bank Holiday weekend.

Hello Guys

That was really nice of you Paul, to go to Birchwood and check out the parking………Thank you very much!

Are my eyes going funny or what?…………………..the text has suddenly gone smaller!……..it was too small in the first place!

Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Bob

Go and get your eyes checked……….and stop whatever you are doing that is making you go blind!!!!

No problem going to Birchwood as its local for me I just wanted to check that nothing had changed since last year.

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hi Bob

I will be dropping the Trent off on Friday night so the chaps can include it in the Lifeboat stand then I will be back all Saturday afternoon and then late Sunday afternoon to pick the model up.

I shall watch out for the David Bailey look alike.

See you there

Paul

[ARHParticipant @arh]

Me posing again,

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Nice model…..ARH

How much ballast does she carry?……..and is it stable?

Just curious………..Bob

[ARHParticipant @arh]

Hi Bob, 2 x7 amp hour battries and a small amount of lead, stable like a rock, the real ship had steady gun platforms.
