I went there today and it was really good value, so if you were umming and arrring there is still tomorrow.
The parking cost is a bit steep, and the half hour queue to get in to the quagmire overflow car park was not ideal, but £2 to get in was very reasonable, and the quality of layouts was very high indeed. It was nice to see illuminated layouts operating in the dark area under concord. There were quite a few traders selling new and secondhand model railway stuff. As well as the aircraft there was a nice classic car show too, so very good value, especially if you can go by bus or get there early and make a day of it. -------------------- Suzie x
