had a busy couple of days, using up annual leave etc..

So Thursday headed 'darn sarf' with the obligatory pit-stop at Duxford.. 'orrible weather, nothing new to report and just a couple of Harvards and the P40 outside.. onwards then to West Sussex for a nightstop and a few beers

The main event was Friday at Brooklands. Someone I know from 'another forum' was launching his first book and had set up an event with a couple of veternes from the Squadron he'd written about (37), including W. Cdr ken Wallis of autogyro fame (most famously he built Little Nellie for the James Bond films).. first time i'd been to Brooklands for about 8 or 9 years.. can recomend it to anyone down that way as its got a bit of something for everyone - military and civil aircraft, plus old cars and motorbikes..
a few pictures from the day..

Not been to Brooklands, The Museums treatment of the Late John Hallets Sea Vixen, now at Solent Sky Southampton was very shameful. Thats not to detract from the guys and girls at the 'sharp edge' just the people who run it.

Great pictures though... The Hurricane restoration looks interesting. Am i right in saying that it will be returned to a taxiable/flight status?
