....was a busy one, the last of the so called "Summer Holidays". Saturday was warm and sunny after a foggy start, I was booked to help with a PA for the Ludgershall Flower Show, and I did some interviews and pictures for the radio, and Julie and her mum went out. Sunday we had hoped to go out if it was sunny, but it wasn't. I decided to go to the "History on Wheels" Motor Museum, up near Windsor
We drove up the M4 in mist that turned into rain, a journey of about 70 miles. The museum was interesting, with one large(ish) barn with military vehicles, and two other galleries of stuff. I took a few pictures, and found some military RE's. http://www.historyonwheels.co.uk/. Well worth 2/3 hours if you are in the area and interested in military vehicles, many of which have been used in films and on TV.
Above pictures show a Norton Despatch Riders bike, with full kit. I will publish the RE pic's when I can.
This is a 1943 Cushman Scooter, used by the US army to get around airstrips etc. Fascinating!
Yesterday (Monday) Dan started at college, tonite is the local REOC meet, but it's turned very rainy, so might not go. Busy at work with equipment for IBC, so blogging is going to have to take a back seat for a while!
