Crusade Penarth

**Guntruck** · 01-08-2014 14:50

Is anybody going to Crusade staying over Friday night? If so, where? Just got an unexpected nod from SWMBO.

**sbutton** · 01-09-2014 03:40

I was hoping to go as its my "local" show (I live in Swansea)...

Not sure who's organizing though, but definitely put my name on the list if its on and I will be bringing 1 other.

**Burt** · 01-09-2014 06:47

I am planning to be there on Saturday.
Not sure who is organizing it.

**Guntruck** · 01-11-2014 03:17

That's a "no" then?

**David Manley** · 01-11-2014 03:42

Unfortunately it is unlikely that I will be going. I'm in Sweden that week and I'm not sure exactly when I'm back.

**Boney10** · 01-11-2014 07:42

Yes we have a table booked.
I will be there and last I heard so was Armstrongjohn.
No Steve not staying overnight as I only live across the bridge so will go down Sat morning.
If you want to stay over in Brizzle I can take you down, unfortunately got family staying that weekend so can't offer you a berth.
I live at the junction of M4/M5 if you want to look for accommodation and I live a couple of miles from Bristol Parkway station

**Guntruck** · 01-13-2014 10:35

Thanks Chris, but two of us are now booked in at Penarth.

**sbutton** · 01-13-2014 11:59

Good news we have a table, what time do you wants us down there and any idea of what the day will consist of ?

Last year we had WW1 airships and seaplanes but seeing David is in Sweden I assume we will have a different schedule.

My preference is for WW1 flying my DR1 but any chance for a scrap is good for me

**Boney10** · 01-13-2014 16:39

As we got this thread open I will utilise it.
The intention is to start with a dogfight

Alb DVa/ Dr1/ Phalz D3 v Camels

Move onto a 2 seater bombing/ Recce with everyone trying to stop, I'm thinking 2 -3 Halberstadt Cl with a Phalz escort V Camels

Then a bit early with Albatross D2 v Pups

Albatross D3 V Sopwith Triplanes.

So bring along anything you want to take part, remember we are a participation so there may be members of the public joining in.
Ill supply most of the models.

So can I have names of those attending and I'll see how many we can get in .

**sbutton** · 01-14-2014 06:09

Chris,

Looks good to me

Put me down as Steve Button and Jay Button to attend.

What time is set-up ?

**Burt** · 01-14-2014 08:34

I will be there Chris all being well.

Looking forward to this very much not had a WoG fix since early December, need to push some biplanes around the table

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 01-20-2014 23:49

Lets hope you do a trifle better with the biplanes than the P40's (you were outnumbered though, both times)

Lucky Fokkers ......

**Boney10** · 01-25-2014 11:03

Back from Crusade, a very enjoyable day,manage to find two Hurricanes for £9 each, bargin. Not Bader but I can re-decal so not an issue.
Good to see a number of Drome members, Armstrongjohn1, Sbutton, Guntruck, Don, Bogue to name them, plus a couple of faces that were familiar.
I will post some pics tomorrow,the Gotha mission was especially enjoyable. But once again was asked about the WW2 version and where people could get Spitfires and ME109s had to say , again, nope sory can't.
The other big question was mats where can we get, not sure what it's like elsewhere Bt UK they seem to be in short supply again.
Anyway pics tomorrow with a report

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 01-25-2014 11:32

Glad to hear Penarth was a success Chris, and that you managed to pick up two unlikely Hurricanes at a sensible price.
I look forward to your photographic report.
Rob.

**David Manley** · 01-25-2014 11:53

Good to hear it went well. I was sad not to be there. Hope to catch up with you on Wednesday

**Burt** · 01-26-2014 01:31

An enjoyable day I needed a WoG fix.
Lots of interest from the public.
Thanks for organising it Chris.
Don

**Guntruck** · 01-26-2014 02:11

Jolly good day out, managed to get a WoG game in. Spent too much as usual, but at least managed to finally get hold of a Sails of Glory set and other bits and pieces.
