Well done Dave & Garry. Best Autographica yet.
We arrived on Saturday about 8.30am and had no problems parking. After collecting our Gold Passes and VQ Tickets. There was just a short wait till the 'doors' opened. We met Bruce McCandless first (who was the main reson we was going) and then the rest of the astronauts & cosmosnaut including Jim Lovell and Fred Haise.
It was also a real pleasure to meet the two RAF pilots George 'Johnny' Johnson & Eric 'Winkle' Brown who were very polite and friendly as indeed was everyone including the other collectors which we met.
'Johnny' Johnson took the time to show and name all the crew of his Lancaster and went on to explain how Peter Jackson the film director might feature the Sorpe Dam in his new Dambusters film next as the orignal film did not.
The room downstairs which was opened up for light snacks was also very welcome. OK, not the best sandwiches in the world but very reasonable we did not wan't to risk the well known fast food restaurant nearby as in past years we had eaten there and had dodgy stomachs afterwards!
All in all it was a great day.
Can't fault it. Well done all involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going! I have a Gold Pass as this looks like it will be the best one ever. The opportunity to meet such important people in history is fantastic and doesn't come around too often! Well done Dave & Garry thanks for all your hard work.

Look out for a documentary called 'Flight Fantastic' on Discovery Wings (Sky 524).
It is about supersonic aircraft and breaking the sound barrier and has an interview with Capt. Eric Brown.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Now I can have my 'The Right Stuff' photo signed!

As with Collectormania an LFCC use MSPG as a rough guide.
Whatever they charge on their website, minus £10 from it. 9 times out of 10 that leaves ya with how much the guest will charge.
I remember from last time that the MSPG prices were a "very rough guide" as I noted down their prices from their website, deducted £10 from each only to find the prices for autos were nowhere near!
Mind you I was only going for Astronaut autos so maybe that's where the discrepency occurred.
-
The Astronauts last year were for the most part charging £35*, that's £30 for the auto and £5 for the photo as they bring their own photos and are not supplied by the organisers/
*(except Buzz Aldrin who was about £90 to £110+ depending on the message on your auto).

Hi, does anyone know where or if I can get hold of a 10x8 photo of "The Right Stuff" or of Lance Henricksen in that film. He played Wally Schirra.
Thanks.

My photos were personalised at C6 as well and I found her to be very pleasent.
I did vote maybe but this is now a yes as there is a particular photo I would like her to sign.
-
I voted YES!

I didn't think it was hard to get to either.
Let's face it, it doesn't matter where you put an event it will always be harder for some and easier for others.

Great idea. I had not heard of this guy until your post. It turns out he was on Shift #1 as Flight Director on Apollo 13. Obviously an unsung hero. Would love to meet him.
