I am not 100% sure what International Dog Day is all about, but hey ho.

These are not new photos, but are two of my favourites of our two boys. Both captured in 2017 on equipment manufactured over 30 years apart.

Great effort. Reminds me of a painting.

no. 1 is burnt out and no. 2 is well past it's sell by date.

I have a lot of affinity with no's 1 and 2 in that case

The trees were removed to allow the aircraft to land ! Touching down before the holes was not in the plan, and that it missed sticking a wheel in the hole is down to good luck.

Cannot happen again as the runway is now used by Mercedes Benz World to demo their cars.

Pic 4 - Dakota? Not sure as the engines look pretty close together?

In pic 4 the aircraft on the right is a Vickers Vanguard, and the one on the left a Vickers Viking. These are quite apt to display at the museum since it stands on part of the site of the Vickers-Armstrong factory where these aircraft were made. The VC10 was also made here, and the collection includes one that was part of the Sultan of Oman's royal flight. There is a good video on YT which shows the Vanguard landing on the old runway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmakSwlYLs0

Super set - particularly like the Lagondas beneath Concorde - similarity of style

....and of course the same era. They were in production from 1976-1990. It was the perfect spot to park them !

The James Bond DB5 is one of the stunt cars from the last film, as is the V8 Vantage next to it. Not in the photograph, but the other side of the DB5 is the DBS Superleggera from the same film. These three are up for sale at Christies next month, as part of an Aston Martin Lagonda PLC/Eon Productions charity auction. £2.3-3.1 million is the combined estimate for these three cars alone. No prizes for guessing which will fetch the most (despite having a lot of scratches down both sides).

....and guys...no fighting over the bear, I dont think he will ever be for sale.

Colours, tones, shapes,detail. These have them all.

Interesting and refreshing.
