Hi all,

What with the bad weather and all, I've been stuck for something to do today, so I made the trek up the M1/M18 from Chesterfield to Doncaster. The initial idea was to keep my Dad's model paint stock from running low, and to have a quick look around the aircraft on display at Aeroventure.

I have to apologise now... I forgot the camera... but I will be back up there soon. Today was probably the third time I've been there, and every time I go I spot something new. It's amazing the gems that are packed into such a tiny area!

Definitely one to visit if you're in the area, and you haven't already.

Regards

Ric

I got over the week for the first time in ages so was chuffed to see the Bleriot with its wings on & YHPG Whirlwind XP345 finished in 84's UN colour scheme.

Looking forward to the photo's,

Regards Rad.

XP345 looks so smart! The paint and stencilling work is nothing short of awesome. If we canget the paint on WR963 looking half as smart as that I'd be a very happy bunny.

Dad ordered several items from the shop, so another visit will be imminent to collect them.
