he's probably off to Syria to get his sons back from ISIS (or selling his daughters to them for four goats and an extra virgin in Paradise)

Overall I thought the show was a bit 'samey' as the last few years, but still enjoyable.
I did like the Whisper cat - looked very cool and amazing 38kg for both hulls and beams! I don't know whether Moth type foils is the way to go for cats, but it did look space age.
Traffic on the north circular was okay and food at the show was reasonably priced too.
There's never enough time to chat to everyone.
My 7 yo liked the Cherub, the 9yo the purple 300, and Mrs Peaky chose the quite enormous N20, which makes a Tornado seem small.

I think you can only go to the show for so many years before it does indeed get samey.

I've taken a break for a few years but might go tomorrow.

I took a 25 year break until last year - and it still felt samey.  Loads of boats in a big hall or two.  The same people - some of them wearing exactly the same clothes (OK I made that bit up).  Plus a few younger ones.  And it was great, just great.  Going tomorrow.

I tend to go for a few years then have a break for a few. Definitely looking forward to tomorrow and my stint on the Grad stand.
