To Londinium, so sprog can go to the Harry Potter Experience and I can go to the Cosmonaut exhibition at the Science Museum. Quite a bit of real space junk (e.g. Valentina Tereshkova's capsule) and a larger number of full scale engineering models of the early satellites and lunar exploration prototypes. Also plenty of ancillary ephemera and paperwork. Sadly, no photography allowed.
Afterwards, a meeting with Tovarich Bobski where, inbetween guzzling, we discussed possible plans for a PDML meetup next year. I was thinking of renting a large, self-catering cottage somewhere on the northumberland coast. People could then drop in for a day or more and participate in activities or otherwise. There will be at least some cycling and walking, plus a bit of dodging the ice floes in the north sea. Numerous opportunities for indulging in our secret vice. In the immortal words of Lieutenant Bromhead "Cormorants! Thousands of them!" Plus many other types of sea life. And other things. Interested parties apply within. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
