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

Default Sounds great Andy

I'm looking forward to meeting up with our commonwealth colleagues.
We will have reps from all the nations that built carriers in WW2!

Just to whet everyone's appetite, here are a couple of pics of what ten carriers look like when they are all lined up in a field.
The pictures were taken by me at Wings over Wairarapa in 2003.

There is a thread by Tony Smith Mk1 with more pics he took there.
This prompted the Year of the Carrier in Aussie in 2005,
and we will do it again at Wairarapa in NZ, January 2015!

see you all
Rob
