h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Are you saying my not being able to go wasn't your fault, 2legs

I was just going to blame you

I was held hostage for the week you see... otherwise I could have maybe gotten myself organised and stuff in time

Oh well, another time another meet, yes?

I totally missed out on the pies in favour of hot and sexy steam engines and - oh be still my beating heart - that flippin ginormous Nimrod! Phwoar!

we have a nimrod ?

there's one at the airport, but in the city?

I didn't think there was any variant of the Comet in the Air and Space gallery. A Shackleton or is it Shuttleworth maybe and some bits of an old Nimrod, not any of the newer Nimrod bits (which is a shame as they were being built down the road at Woodford)

it wasn't clear but I think all the aircraft in that part are models or replicas. But most definitely TRiG, Menthol Penguin and I spent about 5 or 10 minutes looking at a thing labelled Nimrod. Mind you, they also had an engine labelled "we _think_ this is a Rolly Royce Merlin something or other" so the whole place is vague in a cute way.

I also suspect the models are not all to the same scale, otherwise the MIR space station dwarfs The (TNG) Enterprise.

Ah yes there was the model of a Nimrod wasn't there.
