This I must visit!

We used to go there on school trips - a great day out!

There's a group of us going sometime in April.
I've only been once before, must have been about 9 or 10 y.o. Anyone know whether they have any DC-3s?

Cheers,

Can't see one of these - might be a bit too big.

That was the flypast at Ladybower reservoir the other year?
Did you take that? I so wanted to go, but didn't have the leave remaining...

No Graham - posted on my Facebook page by Swedish Morganeer Christer Campler together with this poem.

Now thats what I call a photo , also like the poem .

I went on a Bentley factory tour this week and was surprised to see that the first exhibit on the tour was a Merlin engine, as Crewe was built during the war to build these engines.

Nice to see that the VW-Audi Group have a sense of history and don't want to sweep things under the carpet.

The Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden is extremely worth visiting.

I last went about 5 years ago on a flying day (check website, usually first Sunday in month in Summer). Some very rare and old planes fly, and if you are lucky with a low windspeed, you'll see the worlds oldest airworthy aeroplane, a 1910 Bleriot do a straight line hop.

To see several genuine WW1 planes in the air at once is a rare treat, and one wonders how much longer such things can be done.

I of course went in the trike - the organisers of a car show who shared the same entrance were most put out I wasn't interested!

It's been a few years since I've been but it's definitely worth a visit. One time I got badly sunburnt, was so engrossed in the aircaft that I didn't notice how hot the sun was!
