After a visit to Cosford we went over to Halfpenny Green (which involved getting lost several times down country lanes), where a number of interesting types had arrived. Was sorely tempted by a Dragon Rapide ride, especially when asked by the man running the Classic Flight’s stall, but unfortunately it would bankrupt me!
