(Ps - I was commenting on the picture of the Morgan dairy milk-float ....) The picture of the bird taking the cream from the milk bottle reminds me of another favourite ISIHAC game. In Uxbridge English Dictionary, Barry Cryer came up with a new definition: Impeccable = Bird-Proof

If you ever fly out of Southampton airport I believe (not verified) that the current runway was the field they did the first flight tests from. I believe the factory was where the railway marshalling yards are now ?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Mitchell building...so could well be true.

If you ever fly out of Southampton airport I believe (not verified) that the current runway was the field they did the first flight tests from. See my earlier post with a link to this, rather sad, news story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-35361433. "The plane's first ever flight saw it take off from Eastleigh airfield - now Southampton International Airport - on 5 March, 1936, at 1630 GMT." The airport have this year refused permission for the runway to be used for celebrations. ~iw
