From Don Cliffe G0JWE re his pictures of the Birmingham RI Convention Station and scenes in NEC.:-
"If you care to have a look on my web site at:
you will have some idea of "what we got up to".
When you click on each photograph it appears full size, click again and it should appear in a more acceptable format.
Others will have more elaborate and better photos, but it is a start.
73 Don"
