Also featured were full size replicas by Brian Jones of the Drones - Huey, Dewey and Louie from one of the most under-acknowledged SF films of all time - SILENT RUNNING

Plus Slomo from Space Precinct appeared, with David Sisson, first time in public for 20 years and a real rocket in the form of a Skua, bought along by Mark Perman, a sounding rocket from the sixties, that were built locally.
