We have had our Nationals here in Telford. Vladimir Yakubov attended with some of his fine models to give me some competition. At Telford he purchased an obscure resin Russian 1/72 river gunboat, which needed water-lining. As I had bought the YS Brooklyn, out came the trusty belt-sander, in the rain, in the cold, in the dark after we had been out to dinner! Very Sad!!
