Southern Model Show (Headcorn)

Photos from the Saturday - what a grey day!

I forgot to take a picture of the Crowborough pitch!

Some of our boats packed ready to go

- Perhaps we need  van

Getting all steamed up

First on the water. A Micro Magic moment.....

.....or two

Guess the name of the ship

More steam from Maidstone

and paddlers on our neighbouring pitch

Pop Pop boats - of one candle power

you can just see the two pipes

Even Lord Nelson was there

Local clubs ....................

....and not so local

....Swiss Cottage is Shoreham by Sea

Classic electric and steam

Ducted fan (see it go on youtube)

A few stands where I didn't get the names

But below is Dover's big stand

 Martins submarines on the Dover stand 

Huntsman hulled cruiser and 'Have a go' boats

Ferries at the bottom of the garden

Black Park lifeboats

More lifeboats

Still more lifeboats

And yet more - always popular

but so are tugs

More subs

and warships

Classic style yachts

 

From 'North of the river'

John C set up next to the 'tools R us' type stand 

But It became windy......

So the Surface Warships Association

took their gazebo down

There were opportunities to spend money.......

..................especially on the SLEC stand

What a lot of classic boats kits they make!

Non-boating displays

Radio controlled hot air balloons!

Grass track car racing

Roadways

Keep on truckin'

Road racing

One bring and buy area

only a few boats

There was I, digging this hole!

more planes for sale

Then it was time for tea.....

....and cake!

Happy Boating
