I've had the opportunity, after setting up our stand, to view some of the exhibits. Definitely worthwhile. Some are a real inspiration. At Sandown exhibits are on the first floor in two sections. Don't just look at stands and stalls on the ground floor but take the escalator upstairs and enjoy looking at the fruits of countless hours of dedicated engineering work. And if you get bored you can always wander over to the IDSME stand and make yourself a rope as a momento! Peter MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
