Stand To report Shildon 2015.

A brief report with photographs of todays show at the Shildon Railway Museum is on my other blog, Aut Cesar, Aut Nihil. Please have a read.



And for something totally unrelated; I knew I had seen John Coutts, of Westerhope Wargames Group before. Here he is looking remarkably like the guy that used to present Police Five, all those years ago on Tyne Tees Television.

    1. Brian,
      He is the spitting image of that guy who used to front the show, maybe he was his love child.

    1. Evening John,
      I sadly missed that show, which was a classic by all accounts. Derek Sharman was ahead of his time as regards putting on a wargames show. I am very intrigued about the figures though. Are they Prince August?
