Harro,

I'm helping run Scale Modelworld. When you are there, ring me on +44
7785 534550. I'll be around all weekend.

Nige.

Well, I'm just up the road from Duxford. You know what to do.
Maybe we can persuade Nige to come down . . .

Better keep him away from the magazines. Especially the ones showing ladies
in frilly undies.

I'll do that. I'm taking the boat on Saturday (Seacat, Calais-Dover), so
I'll be at the Modelworld on Sunday.

It's a fantastic museum, but it's a fair distance from London area where
Harro is heading... well worth a trip though.

I'll check the distance (the route planner Web site I use isn't
responding at the moment), but I wouldn't mind a detour of a few hundred
km. Some nice countryside and a full CD-changer make for a pleasant
holiday.

Never mind, found it now. Telford-Bovington-Duxford would be about 700
km, which would be a bit too much in the time I have. Oh well, there's
always next time (i'll certainly keep it in mind). Thanks anyway for the
suggestion...
I may visit Bletchley Park instead.

See if you can nail an Enigma machine. It would make a nice conversation
piece on your coffee table.

It is a bit out of your way, but Somerset has fantastic scenery as well,
if that's what you're after

km? What's this 'km'? We don't have those over here.

Anyway, the offer of a feed is valid - we're a few miles north of Duxford.

Nice. That would give even longer no-repeat/no-changing-CD's playing
time than my setup (12-CD changer plus a headunit that can play MP3-CDs,
which has proven sufficient to last a 1000 km journey...).
