DSA 2010 (Part 2) - The 'Toys', The 'Boys' & The VVIPs

Part of the Exhibition Team...

Due to the unusual circumstances in Europe causing many flight cancellations, we were slightly light on the ground in some areas but managed to cover all products that were exhibited and provide excellent briefings to delegations and visitors who came to our Stand.

My two immediate Bosses (R-L):

Chris Nunn-Regional Director Asia Pacific & Michael Bentinck-Vice President, Malaysia & Indonesia

The 'Boys' behind the Stand - (L-R) Dave (London) and Alex (Birmingham).

They will be in a jiffy when the IT comes to standstill..

They were hoping that they could extend their stay in Kuala Lumpur following the eruption of the volcano in Iceland.

AND...

The Serious 'TOYS'

LAND - ARMY

My very first project... JERNAS

The bonus?

Hmmm.... enough to pay downpayment for my double storey house...

AIR - AIR FORCE

TYPHOON

GRIPEN

SEA - NAVY

INSHORE PATROL VESSEL

and... many more...(not able to take lots of photos because I had to attend to the VIPs)
