The Gloucester model show is on Sunday 13th May. It isn't a show we have displayed at previously and before committing to exhibit it might be an opportunity to break with tradition and actually visit a model show just as a visitor without the pressure of getting up at dawn and setting up a display. The show is open from 10:00 and admission is £3.50 (£1.50 for Senior Citizens).
Most model shows quieten down after lunch but just down the road from the show is the Jet Age Museum. http://www.jetagemuseum.org/ This is a small museum of Gloster Aircraft, cockpits and memorabilia, admission free. It is on the edge of Gloucester Airport so there should be some flying activity too.
Any interest?
Colin

I'm up for this. I did go to this show a few years ago a a visitor and quite enjoyed it. It did help that I picked up an unstarted Airfix 1/48 TSR2 for £10!
I did try and find the Jet Age museum but got very badly lost, so it would be good to finally get to it.
Mark.

Would love to join but my daughter is getting married next week in Santorini - flying there on Monday so Sunday would probably not be the done thing.

Gloucester Model show is held at:
Churchdown Community Centre Parton Road Churchdown Gloucestershire GL3 2JH
Show opens at 10:00
Admission Adults: £3.50 Senior Citizens £1.50
I suggest we meet at the show and move on to Jet Age when it suits.
Jet Age Museum is open from 10:00 until 16:00
"HOW TO FIND US We're based on Meteor Business Park on Cheltenham Road East on the north side of Gloucestershire Airport. Look for the traffic lights between the large white Safran/Dowty building and the large Triumph Actuation building. Turn into Meteor Business Park at the lights and the Museum’s blue gates will be on your right just beyond the Triumph building. The address is:Meteor Business Park,Cheltenham Road East,Gloucester GL2 9QL"
Jet Age is only a mile or two from the model show.
See you on Sunday!
Colin
