CheltGirl Posted 7 January 2022 Report Posted 7 January 2022 We had a great drive to Kemble Airport (nr Cirencester) this morning. We might not be able to go abroad, but I managed to park under a BA plane that I think they will be restoring on a stand rather than scrapping like all the other BA planes lined up 3 1
CheltGirl Posted 7 January 2022 Report Posted 7 January 2022 Dare I post another photo? Of course I will This one is quite poignant to me, as it is the world's last complete RAF Brittania transport plane in existence - and one my late father was Flight Engineer on. It wasn't open to the public today, but I have previously been inside and sat on the seat he would have sat on himself. They have retired RAF people who show you round and tell stories. No computers onboard and if they got lost, they could put a small periscope up through the cockpit roof and navigate by the stars . 7

One of the last to be developed while my wife’s grandfather was in charge at the Bristol Aircraft Co. - which he ran through the war. 1

CheltGirl Posted 20 February 2022 Report Posted 20 February 2022 I've often thought about organising a club members driving event for it, but a convoy of any length could be quite tricky to say the least . I haven't yet done it myself, but a number of club members have done it in the past with a small group of friends. 2

meirion Posted 25 February 2022 Report Posted 25 February 2022 Early morning rising today so I fired up the Celica and had a drive down to the nearest big town to fill up with petrol. I usually run on Shell V-Power but thought I'd try a tank full of Tesco Momentum just for a change. Got a full tank before the prices rocket because of the Russians 5
