Andy, we are hoping the "long up hill walk" will make us feel warm when we get there.

Rob, I thought N.Z. was Geocentric. (Middle earth is Matamata)

Default Wait for me

Hi All
I've just been looking at the thread and realized I have not told the world that I'll be at War and Peace this year.

Looking forward to meeting most of you for the first time. It sounds like a great roll up of carriers this year as well.

I have managed to pack a couple of bits into a container that left Australia about 4 weeks ago.

The container is being dropped at the War and Peace site.
I loaded the following

3 aerial base mounts
6 Shepard crooks
1 carrier (British)
4 AA poles
2 or 3 sets of sprockets ( can't remember)
about a set and a half of track

Happy to accept British pounds, Euro, USD. AUD. Just need to pack the calculator.

See you all soon.
Nigel

A British MK1 has to be the first on British soil for a while!

I'm still up for a crook. Hope to see you on the pre W&P whistle stop tour........then at the show. You can relieve me of rusty steel
