I know I've been talking about going to Telford for the past couple years, but that particular luxury has always been contingent on selling our house in Montana. Well, we are finally in a sales contract and it should close within a month, so we are definitely going this year. I'm sure Scale Model World is awesome and a visit to England has always been on my bucket list, but my main purpose for going is to finally meet the many friends I've made on the forums over the years.
So, who's in?
Cheers,
Bud

Just the Saturday this year, Bud.

Well that's a bonus for us, Edgar

Great idea, Bud. How about if we met by the Copper State stand at 12.00? It would be great if other forum members could get there too.

Hi Bud - Nigel ,
Unfortunately :( I'm not going this year so will not be able to meet up, which is a shame as it was nice to put 'faces to names' last year.
Hope you all have a great time as I'm sure you will - Bud keep your 'plastic' in a chiller - they have a distinct tendency to go into meltdown ;D - I already have a shopping list for my club mates who are going ;)
Regards - Tug

Shame you can't make it this year Tug. Maybe we can raise a pint/glass of wine to you and all the brilliant work you've shared with us lately.
Best wishes

Nigel - missed your post - yes do, a glass or two of red will go down nicely. I will be there in spirit of course and thinking of all that's going on throughout the weekend - have a great time all of you :)
regards - Tug

Thought I'd give this thread a boost as we're just a month away and some of you may have recently firmed up plans.
Sorry you won't be there, Tug. It would've been interesting to talk airborne with you.
Hoping to see more of you all there.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Bud, yes I'm going to miss being there this year though I do have friend who is going to do a bit of pseudo shopping for me - Gaspatch, Vector, etc.
Re the airborne talk - it occurred after I posted - but I have the right to wear Canadian wings too. The first place that I went to as a young squaddie was Fort Churchill followed by time at Brandon/Rivers Manitoba where we did the Canadian course. That made my first battalion jump (and 2,3, and 4th) from a Fairchild Packet and not the Hastings or Beverley expected :o (Jan/Feb/Mar 1963)
I go to my local para branch with another Tug - he went there too but earlier with the advance party. We both wear our Canadian wings lapel badges on our jackets :)
Have a great time at Telford - only wish I was there to meet you.
Regards - Tug

Good grief Tug, leaping out of a C119 in Brandon/Rivers in Jan-Feb-Mar........ Now that had to be a chilling experience! Wear them with pride as I'm sure you do; you've truly been to the very edge of the "frozen cone of silence of the Great White North". I flew to Cambridge Bay in the Arctic in a 119 in late 63 for a Survival Course; I don't know what was colder, the trip or the two weeks in the frozen wastes! I hope your subsequent service was in more temperate climates.
Cheers,
Lance

Goodness me, Bud! Surely it's more than just you and me. I can only be there for the Saturday, so I might not get too much chance to photograph things.

It certainly was Bud six months later I was in Singapore ;D
This was in Churchill (February) - I'm not in the pic but it's my platoon mates

The bigger 33ft chutes proved difficult - they didn't steer like the 28ft X type we were used to
