Argh again!
I'd been looking forward to going to this show all year. I never could
find out exactly when it was. It just so happened I was on vacation
last week so I missed Doug's and Bob's notices and subsequently the show
itself since I got back too late. Just my luck!

Aha! The Reliant Scimitar, built in good ol' Tamworth, Staffordshire, the
same makers as the three-wheeler Reliant Robin. Made from the same stuff,
of course... fibreglass! Tamworth is close to my old hunting grounds
across the border into Derbyshire. I used to pass by the factory on the
train to Birmingham all the time.

Oh well... perhaps I'll make it next year. I also missed the biennial
military air show at Chicopee, Massachusetts. They are on the same
day I think... perhaps the air show was Saturday.
Anyway, thanks to Doug and Bob for their updates on the Granby show.
Cheers!
