I must be in the minority here…Hawkinge is one of my favourite museums – I love it for the wealth of material and information it packs in to a relatively small space, and for it’s Kent/Battle of Britain connection. When I visit museums I personally prefer to absorb what’s on display in front of me, rather than peering at it through a lens, trying to get the best shots I can. It doesn’t matter to me that I cannot take photographs, I would rather learn more about the Battle of Britain and the men and women involved.

On the past two occasions I visited, there were a number of copies of photographs taken by the Museum for sale, which I thought was a good compromise.

Just my thoughts on the matter…

“This is a local shop…for local people…”

Everytime I look at your avatar Ian, I think of that pig…;)

Great day at Brooklands on Friday (apart from the 4 hour journey home – first words to husband on my return home – “where’s the ******* corkscrew?”) Was really good to catch up with some familiar faces, and finally meet some other not so familiar faces – I really enjoyed myself, thank you Kev for inviting me 🙂

Oh and Melv…sod it, the bloody thing’s stuck again…;)

What will you do now Steve to keep your image, buy an MX5 ?

Hang on a minute Ian, Steve’s not a middle aged,over blow dried, leopard skin coat wearing tart 😀 :diablo: 😉

I think Ian has hit the nail on the head re the Rover 25 – next to even the old model Focus it looks outdated, and next to the new Focus, Golf and Astra looks about as streamlined as a warthog. If Rover had made more of an effort to capture this end of the market, I wonder if they would be in as deep doodah as they are now? I am not saying that doing so would have saved their skins good and proper, but they might have more of a chance…

Or maybe he’s just enjoying life away from the computer?

Congratulations Peter! 🙂

Merlin70…sounds like you need to place an order for a nice vindaloo with extra chilli 😉
