I have loads of pictures from Euro 96. I was 10 at the time and me and my Grandad went on a bus trip, organised by Ken? from air supply.

Are you able to share your photos?

I was there also the day France played Spain and will have a good rummage around and see what I can post.

Next time I go to my parents I will see if I can find them and scan them in!

Ahhh I do miss that Air Supply shop.

My parents bought me my first radio when I was 8 from there, and I went back every Summer and Winter to collect the little Timetable books, many of them I still have!

I seem to remember his wife sadly passed away didn't she, and so he decided to call it a day...

I brought my Win 108 from Airsupply at least 20 years ago and it's still going strong ☺

He did. He lived in Yeadon down near the Henshaw area. Great guy.

I remember visiting a lot with my grandad and trying to get him to buy me model planes

Funnily enough I bumped into KC on Saturday. He has an article coming out in a well know aviation magazine over the next few months.

He's been on Bargain Hunt as well.

He is also a member of the Consultative Committee, so I am fortunate enough to be able to chat to him regularly. I still have a Wooster model of a Hispania Boeing 757 that I bought from that shop in the late 80s. I had no sooner bought the thing than Hispania went bust, so perhaps a bit of a collectors item now?

As its now almost 20 years since Euro 96, here are a selection of photos taken on the day at LBA. Hope to see more from the other members who were that that day - probably the best ever at LBA. First, Iberia Airbus A300View attachment 3170
