Just two

Postby FsNovice » Mon Oct 22, 2007 2:47 pm

went away to kent for the weekend, which was good fun. Took 74 photos in total, there or there abouts, just completed editing them, and wanted to post these two in anticipation of what i may post later. The weekend was good, visited two museums and got to watch the rugby, popped round my cousins house to see it and to meet up with them. Welldone england, good timing. The only downside was the bleedin traffic. Got caught in the rubbernecking traffic in that big smashup on the M25/M4 interchange, took 5 hours to get there. And the way back was worse. We set off nice and early, and not even 30 minutes in, just after we had joined the M25, between 3 and 4, the cars in front came to a grinding halt. Big, big fatal crash up ahead. Thats about it for 2 1/2 hours as the motorway was shut as the Ha people decide how best to get us off, as we were trapped on the section between the two sliproads. So we had to wait patiently whilst we drove up to the next sliproad and turned us all down it, lorries and all. Oh the fun. Anyway, onto the photos!!!

Went to the docklands museum in Chatham, and amongst other things saw this nice chopper. All i can remember of it was it was a Westland :-/ :-/ Any ideas, i liked it for its unusual shape!

That'd be a Westland Widgeon. Based off the Sikorsky H-5 "Dragonfly".

A goofy-looking creation if you ask me. :P

Haven't been to the Dockyard at Chatham since I was about 13! I'm looking forward to the next few threads! :)
