About Darren Baker (CMOT)
FROM: ENGLAND - SOUTH WEST, UNITED KINGDOM

I have been building model kits since the early 70’s starting with Airfix kits of mostly aircraft, then progressing to the point I am at now building predominantly armour kits from all countries and time periods. Living in the middle of Salisbury plain since the 70’s, I have had lots of opportunitie...

Darren Great set of photo's, looks like it was a great time. Maybe next year, I can figure a way to get over there to see it. Kevin

Thanks for the pics!! I'm heartbroken every time this event comes around and I can never afford to go. It looks like you had perfect weather for it, too.

There was a very large number of nations represented at the event judging by the languages I heard, even Canadians, Americans, and Australians (couldn't understand a word any of them said LOL). The event today was open until 9pm giving people plenty of time to wonder around.

Crikey Darren, You did well getting this on already. I've only just got back myself and haven't got round to loading the footage I took from my cmaera yet! Great to see the Tiger running again; after the arena display we were wandering around the tank park before they put them to bed, and they had a ladder against the Tiger, they were letting people up to look inside, I was the last man in the queue before they closed up - good luck or what!

Steve it was all pre arranged with James before I went on Saturday with the only complaint I can make being the walk back to the carpark and Mr Holland not being where he promised.

I was for most of the time Darren - you were probably looking for a scruffy bloke instead of a geezer in a smart blazer. I must admit I did spend some time wandering about looking at tanks etc, but that's what the day is all about, eh?

Ken most in that area had blazers on and I even asked several if they new you (bad news you are not well known ), part of the problem was I didn't know anything about you other than your name and unit 3 RTR.
