"Biggles" Betteridge goes to Telford. |
Our club Chairman Pete Betteridge lived up to his recently acquired nick-name of Biggles by briefly appearing on the Biggles SIG stand.
As always at Telford a great deal of time was spent foraging for bargains, searching for that kit for which you have been looking for ages or simply looking at the the traders' displays and discovering an item that you suddenly realise you have wanted all along!

John Kesler and Jim Marconi, our visitors from IPMS Syracuse, USA spent a couple of hours in the morning at the RAF Museum, Cosford before coming to the show. During the course of the day they met some of the UK National committee including Paul Regan (President) and Richard Farrah (Hon. Sec.).
