What did you think of Brittania? Andy?

Interesting but really was ready for retirement and sad to see there isn't a concerted effort to keep it spicknspan

Too cold for me in the MH

Helen, is there anything to show what each of the planes is please? My dad used to be a spotter but can't identify a couple of them.

The temperature gauge was on the window ledge, it was a lot warmer in the van....

No listing for the planes but a peice about the artist

Hope you can see that

Hope Jim doesn't mind but I came across this photo of Merilyn I took in the late eighties on top of one of the twin towers. Thought it might be interesting because it's a view that no-one will ever be able to take again. Can you imagine the terror being that high up when the planes struck and not being able to do anything about it.

When I used to see Bloodhound berthed in Poole Yacht Haven I was always fascinated that she had no safety rails.

I see that some have now been fitted.

Blood running cold..... Stomach churning..... Heart pounding.....
Gosh it brings it all back, driving up a dual carriageway in Truro, hearing about the first one on the car radio & thinking what a tragic accident, then the second one and thinking - no, please no, don't let it be that people have come to doing that. All the cars just stopped. Those without their radios on must have wondered what was going on. There were blank white open-mouthed faces all around.

What a reminder. Thank you for sharing.

Good to see they are keeping all that lovely asbestos under wraps. I have visited it in Edinburgh but also went aboard when it was in Falmouth while still in service.

I would rather jump than burn!

A nice 5 mile round walk . From Moffat up to Jenny's view on to the Moffat well, and back to the town . Stayed dry and very mild. Sat in a pub now ( Stag) just for a change !
Working up an appetite for tea.
