    A bit newer than Spits and Lancasters but just as impressive. The last airworthy Vulcan bomber is doing a farewell tour of Britain before being grounded and it will be flying low over my local airport Sunday afternoon. Vulcan flypast I have been beneath one of these monsters flying over once...

    Show us your motorcycles!

    After 45 years of riding various bikes, ending with a few Beemers, I became quite ill a few years ago. A rare lung disease and duff legs and balance. I couldn't handle the weight of the Beemers any more but I still wanted to ride. So, I went out and bought a brand new one of these! Haven't...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Personally I prefer berets with a leather hatband. I have both with and without and I find the ones without make my head itch! Horses for courses. Gareth

    Re-waxing Millerian Waxed Cotton Jacket

    I too have rewaxed two Barbours and a Drizabone usig the Barbour tin of wax. Easy job if time consuming and needing some elbow grease as well as the jacket grease! The trick to avoiding the shiny, waxy look is to go over the jackets with a hot hair drier when you've finshed, as Barbour...

    Berets, Anyone?

    I visited San Sebastian in Spain several years ago. Got a cheap flight on Ryanair to Biarritz in France, stayed there two nights then got the bus to San Sebastian over the border.

    Golden Era Dog Names

    My dog in the late 50's was called Dino. I was a great fan of the Flintstones! No mention of the name of Guy Gibson's black labrador in the Dam Busters. Bet that was quite a popular name for black dogs back then.
