That's my old BMW 330.

Last I heard, it had gone to Holland.

Who has it now?

Ta again for all the organisation @catsinthewelder. 

Did anyone else see the old plane on the way home? I thought it was one of the Lancasters at first but neither have been flying so I'm not sure. There was a Bristol Blenheim at Southport airshow today but I can't find it flying back over Shrewsbury on Flight radar.

There was quite the variety of stuff coming over the NW, the Lancaster is currently grounded due to the BBMF Merlin engine issues though. 

I suspect it could have been the Blenheim again, or possibly the Anson that lives at Sleap near the campsite.

You missed out on some of the good bits, we save them for repeat/safari customers. @mat777 came well equipped.

Land Rover did (in)famously once state, on the topic of Series 2/3 leaf springs, "the suspension is designed such that the driver will break before the vehicle does" 😅

I look as if I’m about to break into an interpretative dance  some really bad dad dancing here!

Best spot of the Cosford trip: 

Second best spot… 

And some cars of Shiters: 

Just glad Wuvvum, Rob T and 8megs had the extra grippy tyres on.

I meant to go and give that BX a good hard frotting. Whose is it? C'est tres fait beau

[catsinthewelder]

@fatharris, it is bloody ace but we probably all walked past it to drool over the LNA.

I was just chuffed to be following it

I must inspect the BX when I'm next in Camborne. Maybe I'll go for a Kernow-style mad dash across the country in my Maestro. 

When the weather is cooler.

The Southwaite BX is a rare survivor of the UK launch press fleet.  For many years, Tame Mechanic (retd) ran A373RBX, a gold 16RS.
