Capri 'mini tour'

Post by Peter-S »

So this should have been Flying Legends weekend but it was cancelled due to a certain virus but as I and a friend had hotel rooms booked already we've made the most of the last couple of days and done our own thing which gave me the chance to get some tarmac under the wheels of the 2.8 :)

Ready for the off

First stop - Ramada at Cambridge Services we know how to live!

Image

Down to the De Havilland museum at Hatfield

Image

Off to Sywell airfield for a bit of spotting

Lusted after whilst in Kettering

Podington airfield memorial, near to Santa Pod

and Duxford on the way home

All in all a little tour of nearly 500 miles

Lovely Capri Peter, reminds me of the black 2.8 I had several years ago :cool:

Real pity shows are still being cancelled when other things are allowed to go ahead, but good on you for doing your own thing :cheers:

Id be tempted to save that handwritten note and put it on a very tatty modern car
