I enjoyed Jetpower as usual. Great meeting old friends & meeting new ones ( Hi Big Plumbs) & getting some good bargains. The Ali & Sandor double act gave me some good deals . Deals were in short supply this year, I was particularly disappointed in Carf. Last year they offered 25% off the Flash. This year, nothing on anything. You would think in the current economic climate, some effort at attracting buyers would be made. As a result, I hear many traders did not do much business. Many show models were left unsold. Usually they are snapped up quickly.

Winnie as usual organised the event with his usual precision, except for one big problem. How does he expect two toilets to service thousands of people. I went behind a hanger, only to find it crowded with people relieving themselves. Either sell less beer, or provide decent toilet facilities.

Hi Colin,

It was great meeting you, specially after the 1000 mails we exchanged.
Just reached home around 3 hours ago with most of the Indian contingent , the responsibility was mine to fly the guys back home safe from Brussels to Mumbai.
Always a great show from Winnie and team, will be there 2012.

Chatty. 

Had a great time chatting to everybody, particularly Captain Makhija and co. from the Indian contingent. Even the English visitors seemed pretty well behaved . Thank you to Winnie and the team for such a well organised and safe show, and thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand.

Still on a high - roll on JP 2012

Thanks for the info and Pics guys, is there a C&C models dealer in the UK or do you just buy direct from italy. Have to say this is the first scale model that has taken my eye for a while, nice to see something different

Also you can see in that pic the Modellbau USA Tornado which had a price tag of 550euro incl retracts/legs etc had to be the cheapest Jet at the show.

 well , fortunately we found some spare changes in our pockets and managed to pay airport parking and drove our selves back home.!!! apart from buying  anything that i needed or not i also paid FEJ the rest of the amount left from my recent purchase an F16 1/6 with my choice of color as per picture, and all of a sudden when i was thinking of what smoke pump to install on this a/c i noticed the stand next to powerbox was full of smoke. well it was a demo of their electrically operated smoke system. then i imagined the picture attached and said to myself ..''Nik this is what you need''  http://www.smokeel-shop.de/epages/62501891.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62501891/Categories/SmokeAnlagen.....a fair offer for a twin ready to operate system at 595euro and 3ltr of red oil free thought its a good deal....i just need to see the battery needed for this to operated and will decide...
