Well day 1 of model Expo has come and gone and what a big day it was.
The annual A/CAM membership luncheon was held with lots of catch-ups and laughs, (and if you haven't yet got your "freebie" meal voucher, hunt me down tomorrow as I don't want any A/CAM members missing out).
You were missed Paul....but you were there in spirit as many "Paul our favourite LAME" anecdotes were shared, (and the security guys just seemed lost and miserable without you around
). 
Both A/CAM-sponsored Model Expo competition categories were well supported this year with some simply superb models in each (and good luck to those that have entered....may there be lots of silverware coming your way). Here is the Civil (aka as non-military), Category:
And the Airliner Category:
Now folks, to say that I am overwhelmed and blown away by the level of support for our Ansett 80th Anniversary display is an absolute understatement. I can't believe how many Ansett models actually ended up being on the table, (and nor can anyone else
), so to all those who contributed..... please accept a warm and heart-felt thanks from me. You have all ensured that our display this year is an absolute success. I have received much positive feedback about our display today, (including from our all-important sponsors), and this would not have been possible had you guys not got behind me and A/CAM. THANK YOU!!!! 
And to finish off with....some A/CAM members who happened to be hanging around
See ya all tomorrow

Not to worry Paul, Damo filled up his car with those super rare, super cheap (where they really only $5?) only ever to be sold at Expo 2016 Phantom kits. Damo did tell me he could part with a couple of these super rare Phantom kits once he applies his "special" profit margin just for you!
