As always nice to see some friendly faces, big call out to Chris (Boney10) for running the Sails table, ably assisted by Simon (Maverick) and Neil (Skafloc) and Andy (Simon’s son). On the wings table can I give a special mention to Andy and Marian (Hawkhurst and Deadly M), without whom I would have been flying solo today. Nice to see Doug (Merlin 45) and Simon (Syborg3D) on our travels around the hall.
I will post some photo’s and a game summary later, but it was a ridiculous day for the RFC (Andy and guests) and a shocker for Marian and I. The final score across three hard fought games was RFC 12, Germans 5. (we did destroy a bridge though).
Star of the day was Andy with 8 kills... Marian and I tied for the wooden spoon with both of us shot down 6 times.
Nice to see the traders so busy, a good sign for the future of the hobby.
One final thing, one of the organisers was chatting to me... he is looking to offload a large (100+) collection of planes... but check this out, not only are they all in original boxes, most are still sealed and a lot of them are in the original Kickstarter delivery box, which remains sealed... I gave him our details and hopefully he will be joining the forum shortly with a view to giving us first refusal on his collection. So watch this space.
