n the current economic climate the last thing many of us would choose
to do would be to organise a major event, with all the associated risks
involved. Everything costs more, and everything is hemmed around by
red tape and legislation to a bewildering extent. Huge congratulations
then to IPMS Bolton not only for biting the bullet and going ahead with
their annual show, but for making it such a huge success. Harrogate Model
Club was very pleased to attend, and would like to extend both our thanks
to Bolton for having us, and our congratulations for providing a top day
out with everything one could hope for from a model show.
Apologies to anyone local trying to join HMC – it doesn’t really exist
beyond myself and some diehard members of the review team, and the
Bolton show is generally the only time we actually get together, but we
had such a good time this year that everyone agreed we’d like to do it
again soon. Mr. Colin ‘Flying’ Pickett and Mr. Bruce Leyland-Jones brought
along a number of models that have been, or will soon be, featured in the
pages of
SAM,
and both Bruce’s Special Hobby ‘Bluebird’ and Colin’s
Freightdog ‘Mustard’ excited considerable attention from those who like
their aircraft off-piste in terms of both subject matter and provenance.
Bolton, of course, was the show at which I first found myself elevated to
the Editorial See, when a chance conversation with one Neil Robinson
landed me a job on
Scale Aviation Modeller International.
Back then it was
staged in a considerably smaller venue – the name eludes me, but the
canteen there served a stunning Lancashire hotpot. Even then it was one
of the best shows in the North and I don’t think I’ve missed one since.
Neil, at the time, was in the process of turning
Model Aircraft Monthly
into probably the best model aircraft magazine ever published, and with
the Internet still very much an up-and-coming thing the role of the printed
magazine was somewhat different from today.
One cornerstone of the publishing year was the annual ‘Nuremburg list’,
which saw pages and pages devoted to the optimistic announcements of
manufacturers from around the World. The Toyfair still remains an
important event, and it is to be hoped that our coverage of this year’s
event will reflect the excitement inherent in that annual broadside.
That, of course, depends on how much time the Editor is able to devote
to the contents of Hall 7a, and how little he spends pointing his camera at
the
Hauptbahnhof …
On a final note, readers will observe that we have become ‘perfect-
bound’ this month, which is issue 1 in our 45th volume. I love the new look,
and although mindful that change is something to be evaluated, I hope
that readers will be likewise enthused. Guideline will be making new-style
binders available to accommodate the revised design, and I look forward
to dust settling on the matter with a minimum of letters commencing
‘Sir, imagine my surprise …’
