JV's? Williams

To avoid a new topic, these are the last few of the moderns.
Firstly The rear ends of two Mclarens, the close on is Mika's championship winning one again

I have not been inside the GP Museum for a good many years. I'm sure it has changed quite a lot since last I was there. Very smart looking motors and good pics also.
By the way, if you though the Aeropark Spitfire was bad, did you notice that the one on the race track has now lost it's left wing.

Sadly we couldn't get near the Track, it had a motorbike track day going on. The only open entrance was to the paddock and they wanted booking forms to get in.
Thanks for the comments:) I recommend this place to anyone in the area. Its truely an amazing place to visit.

Thanks Doug, the layout is perfect, sadly like most museums the lighting is awful for photography, i assume to reduce glare off the cars and my poor little flash isnt that good. But i am happy with them:)

Yes it was horrible, thankfully that year i was too busy to watch much F1 so didnt have to watch that thing go round the track to many times.
And its actully Ralf Schumachers car, i have it from another angle or of JV's blue/white williams with that next to it, the sign and name tag clearly says schumacher.

Don't worry about me Craig. I might not have many to post. You've seen most of the aircraft before. I never get tired of seeing them but no point in posting similar shots over & over again.
