Popped over to Blackpool for this show which has a lot to offer model boaters - plenty of clubs and plenty of traders (20 I think). (And the illuminations and fish and chips on the Golden Mile!)

It is held in the large convention hall of the Norbreck Castle Hotel.

Actually it does not offer too much for the model submariner although I will make a few observations:
- Hardly any 40Mhz equpt. being offered. One Trader was having a clear out - a 6 channel at £80.
- Brushless motors coming in rather more. The "man on the stand" at SHG Marine had some interesting things to say about Brushless ESCs but I will put that over on a Brushless thread.
- I had a long and very interesting chat with Adam and Alex of Mountfleet Models. The new Chariot was not on display but the design is now being finalised. Adam has installed a new VLTT (very large test tank!) at his home to help with this project and some more submarines projects he has in mind.
