I bought what I went for, which was the P51D Mustang from Century models. As the peps who were with me know I was looking at a model costing £249, but they had 2 outside at £149, as they had been returned as faulty, and were being sold at second hand price after being put right by Century Having now finished the model, I would say the price I paid was about right, and would have been a little upset if I had paid the full price, as the model is not as good as the write up. However lets see how it flys when I maiden it.

I was looking forward to the B&B too Dean.
When I found out how close we were camped to the hanger I thought we'd get the jump on the other bargain hunters.
WRONG!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi, only just joined the forum, that's why I'm late posting on this thread.

I bought:-

A "Miss Elaine" from YT as a birthday prezzie for my brother.
A gift subscription to RCM&E (again for my bro.)
3 x ARTF Indoor Rubber Free Flight models from Same
Various bits from the tool stands, including a Dial Test Indicator and Magnetic base for my lathe - bargain at £14!
Finally, I got attacked as I passed the Century tent, they dragged me in and forced me to buy an 80" foam B17!

Good job I was only there for the day!! :S

AH, the bring and buy, 3 years ago, best bargain i got from there was a mercedes estate, actually, i stole it :evil: i was in there at 5 in the morning with my crew, cleaning the place, set all the tables out, let traffic in 5 at a time, stopped punters getting in, car drivers are instructed to unload, and go park the car, this merc was there blocking the traffic, owner no-were to be found, silly boy had left the keys in, i parked it in sheffield :evil: good job this year there was good weather, the RAF do their best to completely empty the hangar, but this year i believe there was some immovable full size in?? i wasnt there, did the indoor flying happen?

i have 2 sides

So THAT's where Garry got his 'new' car!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
