Re: Concerts 2024

Second gig this week. This time back to the New Century Hall in Manchester to see the Blinders - and possibly their last as well after they announced a "hiatus" They were certainly on form with an absolutely blistering set. Superb. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53588661357_fb4a16546b...

Re: Concerts 2024

Last night saw us at the Albert Hall in Manchester to see the Pixies playing albums Bossanova and Tromp Le Monde in full. A great night. Support from the Pale White. Excellent band. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53584152217_0ca620b855_o.jpg z20240312_200839 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr The ...

A pair of 1/144 HS Tridents

Firstly the X-scale Trident 1, finished in the BEA markings of G-ARPA. Not a bad kit but some details are a little too small for 1/144 scale, certainly for 60 year old eyes and fingers! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53585354909_09ed130cd8_o.jpg z20240312_125727 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr ...

The car parks are outside of our remit. We just look after the aeroplanes. I would suggest contacting the RVP management directly.

This is the Special Hobby 1/48 Bugatti 100. A twin engine racing aeroplane built in France in 1937 but never flown. It was hidden from the invading Germans and was eventually moved to the USA. It is still in the EAA museum at Oshkosh. A replica was built and flown in 2015 but crashed in 2016 killing...
