Of course half the stuff gets sent back, bumpair too tight in my antique but fab harness, reserve container too big for my teeny conar 16 reserve, and as for the pants, they make my arse look small.

I went down on the saturday. only spent 17 quid on a windmeter, thought it might be useful. I managed to resist the temptation to get a vrio a bit longer!

"A custom loathsome to the eye, harmful to the brain, damageing to the lungs and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless."

OFFICIAL WEBSITE : http://www.sportaviation.org.uk/



Please note that the International Airsports Exhibition name has been changed to THE SPORT AND LEISURE AVIATION SHOW and is to be held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) on the 26th – 27th November 2005



Welcome to the Sport and Leisure Aviation Show (SPLASH).



Splash is new in name only, the show has run successfully for some years at Telford under the name of the International Airsports Exhibition, jointly organised by the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA), and the British Hang gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA).



This show is about aviation for fun. Whatever you fly or have an interest in then SPLASH is worth a visit. You don’t even need to be a pilot or an aspiring one just an enthusiast.



There will be a range of aircraft and goods available to buy and see, together with experts from all aspects of leisure aviation including world-class competition pilots, manufacturers, and designers.



Relocating the show to the NEC has added many advantages for both the visitor and the exhibitor. The location makes it easy to get to by road, rail, and air. Also there are other shows on at the same time, which make it a great weekend for all.
