I could have sworn I replied to that yesterday, but checking the date of the post, I couldn't have! Must be going nuts or possess ESP, cos I even remember the Union Flag and camoflage tower........ Anyway, stunning car!  How long ago was the pic taken? |

Yes m8.Have visited East Kirby 3 times with Vauxhall Opel Drivers Club.
What a Fantastic Experiance to feel the ground shudder with the power of those 4 Spitfire Rolls Royce Merlin Engines as they Taxi Just Jane up and down.
Great Venue for a club Meet. Maybe an idea for the future if we could get some of our Members interested and get it arranged.
I would be more than happy to get in touch with the Airfield and check dates when plane is doing Demomstrations.They do give discounts for Parties and you are allowed inside to park inside where the General Public are not.

I'll be up for that!
Only about an hour away, and the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin (or maybe a multitude of!), would be too good a chance for me to pass up!
