Looks like the ceramic coating is still effective👍

A few shots from Sundays visit to Coningsby.............

 

The Lancaster suffered a bird strike, but happily returned safe and sound 👍

Yer knew ye was in a proper car when't steering wheel is half the width of the body

I cycled down a gem of a lane I'd not previously been down just outside of Polegate.  As I got to the end of the lane I rounded a corner to find a lovely little church I'd no idea was there:

 

 

The steepening slope on the right is the South Downs and where I ran out of cyclable surface for my bike.  Beautiful area - I'll go back to take some photos of the cracking views over the Downs and Folkington Estate.

BMW E30... I think?

No sunset as such this evening, but colourful nonetheless 

My new daily driver, complete with personal registration.  😄

Steam rollers are so yesterday, darling. So today was a day for the E-Type.

Took the opportunity to see these guys return from Rhyl air show. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't one have a bird strike through the canopy? I assume that it is still near Rhyl grounded until repairs are made.

I assume it was repaired in Rhyl as they all looked intact on their return?

 

Saw this on the news😳

They were based at Hawarden for the Rhyl show and they returned there after the bird strike.

This is the photo of the actual birdstrike.

I wonder how much the photographer will make from it?

Red 6 (the pilot of the affected jet) tweeted a similar picture with no credit given to the photographer 

The E-Type was fun but it seems that in times of austerity, we must all make sacrifices.

 

This suits the zeitgeist to a T.   😇

Was it another Goose that didn't watch the canopy?

 

Good that it landed safely.

Red 6's crash helmet 

The Model T pickup reminded me of this old Dodge Bros. pickup truck decomposing in the desert at Berlin ghost town in Nevada.  

 

I took this pic in 2005.  It'd be interesting to see what state of decay it's reached over the past 17 years.   

 

 

One advantage of the nights drawing in is I can photograph both the sunset and Moon on the same walk👍

 

Had to pull over to snap the sunset this evening.........
