Happy New Year to all at OW, and here’s to a better year for the Collection than 2012 turned out to be.

I’m glad yesterday’s event at OW was a success, and I’ll be seeing you there shortly Mr Jones.

Yep I echo Mikes thoughts.. my biggest, and possibly only, regret of 2012 was not getting to see the visitors from NZ aviating…

another vote for Flickr…
gave up on photobucket a while ago as it became really slow and clunky after one of its ‘upgrades’, and i also get bombarded with adverts whenever i do go there…

no the weather was glorious.. 🙂

only Tyrell I remember was this one with Jackie Stewart driving it.. he put on a good show, stopping every so often and giving it a bit of a ‘boot full’ away again…

Charlie, I have also met Raymond Mays, he lived in a large house next to the works in Bourne….

Slightly off topic but Jim did you get to the BRM day in Bourne a couple of weeks back? they were running BRM single seaters plus other period racing cars through the towns streets.. 🙂 Damon Hill was driving one of his Fathers cars, and Jackie Stewart was performing in a Tyrell…

back on topic, the Bloodhound SSC team succesfully tested the hybrid rocket engine in a HAS at St Mawgan (I mean Newquay airport 🙂 ) a week or 2 ago… I think the choice of South Africa was mainly about the available length and quality of surface – I ‘think’ Bonneville is shrinking… the SA government are also putting some money into improving the area for this attempt (and perhaps futre ones)..

Right, here’s something for you all to ‘incensed’ about.
.

incensed..? quite partial to a drop of Patouchli myself… 🙂

as for art/design… i go with William Morris and his ethic of Have nothing in your house(or shed!!) that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful… i’d give Verity houseroom (well more likely garden room)..

Great oldies there,im interested in the CAAC Tripod at LHR any idea on a date??

I’ve written on the back of the photo November 1978 and the reg as B-280.

I believe that it’s just to the north of Faygate railway station. Where was 49 MU? Wasn’t there a thread about the MU at Faygate some while ago?

49 MU was northside of the railway tracks… the compound in question here is a couple of miles further on..
