Vertikal Days pictorial review

Vertikal Days 2018 is over and was the largest so far in terms of exhibitors and visitor numbers. The weather was once again very kind and the feedback so far is that the new site at Donington Park was a hit. Here is a pictorial review of the show but these will be added to over the next couple of days.

Great show with all the latest innovative equipment on display as usual but who planned Vertikal days under a flight path? Perhaps call it Horizontal days next year if its at the same venue!!!!
