A Car Weekend
We had trip to Farnborough and the British Motor Show on Friday and ah a couple of stopovers. Firstly on the way down on Thursday, we visited the excellent British Motor Museum at Gaydon. A fine collection. Paddy Hopkirk's Mini Cooper https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53131856131_4788475b46_o.jpg ...

Brooklands Museum 19/8/23
We had a visit to Brooklands at the weekend. It's changed a lot since the last I was there. The aircraft factory and flight shed are excellent new additions. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53131815566_7fabfe9bc0_o.jpg UKAR_DSC_4853 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/6...

Re: Uk Wedgetail farce continues
I doubt that a minister would make a decision without MOD advice. They aren't even new airframes.
As if that wasn't bad enough they are allocated serials in the "WT" range alongside Canberras and Hunters.

Re: Uk Wedgetail farce continues
The farce that is military procurement continues. It is so riddled with incompetence it is embarrassing. Three Wedgetail aircraft was never enough. Five was the bare minimum. Allowing for upgrades, unserviceabilities and the RAF's proclivity for over-maintenance, the chances of one airframe being av...

Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History Brussels 2023
A few from the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History. An nice museum but the aircraft are in dire need of some TLC. It seems to be the building itself which dropping a lot debris on the aircraft. It's a great collection and deserves the same money spent on it as the rest of the museu...

I don't think we've had a comp. on this subject. Let's see five of your best of the BBMF.
