Props and Pistons show photo time

[59Impala]

Today it was the Props and Pistons show at the East Kirkby Aviation Museum in Lincolnshire and very good it was too. Sunshine, cars and old aircraft, what's not to like? Here are my photographic efforts with my 'not that great a camera, buy a decent SLR you tightwad' device.

 

My Anglia with an old plane in the distance.

Old and new Jaaags.

Mine all mine

Big and red

Red but slightly smaller

Still red and even smaller

Was a convertible then saloon now a van

Big wings and a Lancaster

It's creeping up on my cars

Luckily it has decided to park elsewhere

Lovely old Lancia

A Dodge. In red.

The famous Dakota DC3

Commonly known as meat wagons

Simply spiffing

More redness but not in your face red

Cadillac, Cadillac long and gold

Porch. Oh Porsche, my mistake

A Mosquito kind of a big wooden plane

Want a Rolls-Royce Merlin?

Orangeness.

Bristol. If only there had been two of them

What, one of them has survived?

This is rural Lincs,you didn't expect a modern bus did you?

A Queen Mary!

You could buy a ride on the Queen Mary, rather more cash required for a ride on the Lanc. Brilliant day out, hot and sunny, cars and planes, what's not to like? Get there next year Mr Hooli, you'll love it.

I can't press "Like" enough times for this thread!  We were definitely there at the wrong time, in March.  Have to do it again and hope the museum is properly open this time.  Shame the end of August is a no-no.

They have quite a few events Eddy including an airshow normally held earlier in August. Bizarrely they don't open on Sundays which I would have thought would be a prime day for visitors. They are hoping to have the Mosquito ready to taxi by next spring, it's owned by a father and son. As you know loads to see there and it's even better if the Lanc is on taxiing duties. If you want to visit again I know where there is a spare room in a house complete with model car museum Normally I don't really bother with taking photos but I made an exception for this.

I was there for the airshow, it was cracking.

That looked a great event, love the Bedford/Queen Mary trailer combo and what it was being used for. The Impala and 105E both look stunning......
