Winget,

I might be interested in the Brit water can. I'll be in M4/M5.

I've already started packing. At a recent estate auction I picked up a bunch of starters, parts of starters, clutches, oil bath air cleaners, oil filter assemblies, brake shoes and other stuff that at a glance looks to be for all kinds of stuff from Jeeps through larger trucks from the 80's.

I'll also have G518 and trailer parts as well as mlitaria, mostly from WW2.

Matthew I'll hang onto it until you look it over. I'll also try to photo our Ben Hur metal trailer we have down here for your thoughts/knowledge after looking at your web site.

How was the show? Was there a good turn out, vendors, buyers?
I went to Knob Creek instead but plan on going to it next year.

It was a good show from my perspective, we sold over $2K in small items, manuals, radios, field gear, etc. My SWAG would be 40 vendors, it looked to be less than half the capability of the layout. The Air Museum was interesting (about 10 various craft) and seeing the rides in the open PT19 they had and were giving makes me want to sign up next time.
Weather was perfect until Saturday night, sort of misting, we closed up on Saturday evening with intent of possibly doing Sunday, but after recognizing it took two hours to pack... we were done, Sunday's forecast was for rain, but in the morning it had changed to just forecasted fog.
Previously (Aberdeen) was a Thursday to Saturday show, which is about all a person can take if you consider packing up and getting back home for a job on a Monday. Additionally , between Church and the doubtful attendance of any real Mil collectors showing up on a Sunday, the Sunday timeline was based on the Air Museum's event.

It's a concrete ramp (flat aircraft parking area) that needs sweeping (hopefully in May that will be addressed) the concretes been there since WWII and the gravels coming out of a lot of the seams, so pushing carts of gear becomes difficult, but not impossible (soft cart tires recommended)

Nice assortment of vehicles showed up, one convoy of 3 trucks (CCKWs/Studs?) and 2 jeeps from somewhere arrived and drove in very professionally on Saturday.

I "think" it's going to be back on the May schedule for next year, so we might see it pop back into line with other events like it used to be. I did not see one jeep parts or tire vendor setup. T-Mobile brought a large RV sized display, which I suppose helps pay the bills.


The quandary:
I can understand if someone has to work, and cannot make it there until a Saturday, so Saturdays make sense, but what person would drive to it on a Sunday, only to return home for work on a Monday...You cannot plan your life around those that cannot even plan a day off to get to and from the event, so you drive on. The Sunday crowd would logically be locals, after Church/Brunch possibly looking for a souvenir for their children. The Airfield without an airshow is just another "open house" if your a local...how often would you go pay $5 to see the museum unless you had interest in mil vehicles. So staying until Sunday is a hard call as someone that has a two hour packing job, and 5 hours to drive, then unload and go back to work.


I've seen posters here desire radio mounts, I took a large push cart full of mounts, 6+ radios and power supplies and added large mounts cables and control boxes from around the tables and sold them ALL off for $150 to another vendor on Saturday...Why? Well no one that "wanted them" could reply to the PMs or E-mails I sent stating I would be there, or I could hold them back... Once you load 400Lbs of radios, over two or three shows, you want them out of the place...
Get home and suddenly the e-mails roll in..go figure. :roll:

Good Show, need more vendors and visitors, it will grow back.

W. Winget, thanks for the reply. Hopefully I will make it to the May show, we always had a good time at Aberdeen.

One minor follow-up.
Events held on Exit 10A, we stayed at Microtel on 9B, not a bad place, Hampton Inn is there on the other side as well...asked for a list of restaurants, our manager gave us a totally inaccurate one page list of junk food places, some of which were 15 miles off from their purported locations... but when we hit Exit 5, there was every major chain restaurant available in every direction, as well as eating at a wonderful ($$$) Bavarian restaurant in downtown Hagerstown.
So there's plenty of good places to eat dinner within a few reasonable miles, and a decent Pizza joint (Tony's) right outside the main gate fence line.

Chow at the event/airport was also excellent, inexpensive, hot and available thanks to the staffs efforts.

How was the parking and how close to the actual meet could you park, can a spectator park a pick up with a 20 foot trailer there? nothing like carrying a generator a quarter mile. Any website with actual pictures of this event location

Adam:
I parked our vehicles beside the fence line and beside the large hanger. Where original speculation (an old post) on parking would be (the WWII worker lot), was filled with new cellular towers laying on the ground, so no joy with that whole super sized lot, perhaps in the future.
There were plenty of parking spaces for the "visitors" on the ramp, once the truck driving school had vacated the area, or understood the event was there for the weekend.
I would SWAG 4-6 rows of 100 cars each, but I would have to go back to my photos to see. Separate line of about 20 Vettes and some other local vehicles.

I took photos, they are on my phone and I will try to update the post in another day or so, as Phones are not allowed where I am.
We had many vehicles interspersed in the vendor lots, as the spaces were very large, many remained throughout the event. I'm certain you could maneuver a truck and trailer into and around the show to a vendor spot fairly easily.

Have not heard anyone discuss if Sunday happened or was a bust. :?:

One other clarification, I saw no TSA, or gate guard activity (only one gate to enter) and this seemed fine, not sure how the group ensured visitors paid, but I didn't go in and out during the event either.

Photos from right to left in sequence standing atop a portable aerial stairway by the HQ tent. Stopped at edge of main assembly building as there wasn't anything else to see.
No way to post the panoramic video unless I do YouTube.
