To the South West Model Engineering Show

Went to the Shepton Mallet Showground to see the SWME Show. A little disapointing really, not much flying going on and then only one aircraft airborne at once with long silent breaks in between. In the halls were a lot of working tanks and militaria complete with owners in camoflague, war gaming enthusiasts and a few interesting Stirling Engine projects, even a radial version. Another interesting project was a nine cylinder rotary, yes rotary engine, an amazing scale working model of a Rolls Royce original. Puts my attempt to shame.

I must say I did enjoy the day, but would I go next year?...
