OK, No hoots of laughter! After the Imp came the Vauxhall Astra, then the Talbot Alpine!! Which I still own to this day! 27 years old (we have been together for 17 years now!) It’s a versatile motor, rugged and when the seats are let down becomes almost van sized!

Nothing wrong with Avengers! First car, guess what – a maroon Singer Chamois! TBL 414G! Heater very sluggish and throttle cables kept breaking, Head Gaskets seemed to be a failing. Road handling in snowy conditions, well had to put a paving slab in the bonnet compartment for ballast!

Happy Days!

And not forgetting the little TALBOT SAMBA – what fun!

Jensen CV8! phwoooaarr!

Always keep cans of Stagg Chilli, packet rice and Baked Beans in, you cant go worng!

Many thanks New Forest, relieved to be here amongst other like minded Aviation types after anotther supposed “Retro Interest Site” deleted my thread about the Daily Mail 1969 Air Race! PHILESTINES!

One of my fave planes is the F4 and the Harrier! My last book was F4 Phantom by Robert Prest, I think I will bew happy here! Thanks for the welcome.

The book I am into at this moment in time is “One Man Pneumatic Life Raft Survival Kits of World War 2” One of those fantastic Schiffer Military History books – Great illustrations and well researched.
