After that cranky wheelbarrow of ball bearings this ancient hot rod made a pleasant change... three cheers for the pilot's wife's lover and his adder-in-the-flight-suit trick!


Yoko Ono would never have done this...

They needed me to deliver it to the BAe plant at Brough on the River Humber for an MOT.... First they asked me to t+g at the UK2000 demo scenery's Blackpool Airport and make sure the massive red"DEMO" sign was still rotating above the centre of the runway.


Image


It was. North of England landclass and all other sceneries in this UK tour from the following location:

Thanks to Ramsa, Heretic and Clipper for the heads up on that valuable resource.  :)

A Humber way, a Humber way, a Humber way, a Humber way.

Did you know "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was originally called "Mbube", and was a big hit in Swaziland in 1939?

I reassured the guys at Brough that I wasn't lost and went back for another go ;D


Image


Well, anyway, eventually we landed at Brough....time to say farewell to this British classic, phat-flaps and all...what would be next?

About 4 hours of daylight left to get to John O'Groats, Land's End and back to Scummer city! Going to need some serious engine power for this....

Thanks for looking!

The exterior model of that Ito's model is really good.
You make it looks even better with your angles.
First and last are the best for me...but I also like the rivers at the third shot.
