| Day out - Elvington Air Museum. | |
| By: cabbie Date: September 18, 2019, 5:38 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| On 6th October the firm I drive for is holding a 70th | |
| anniversary celebration by meeting at their depot at | |
| Hemingbrough, near Selby and going on a 'mystery drive' | |
| culminating at Elvington Air Museum near York. Vehicles will be | |
| vintage buses/coaches, cars,maybe some commercials and at least | |
| one land rover, which will be mine. They held a similar event a | |
| couple of years ago which was very friendly and enjoyable. The | |
| added attraction of course is the Air Museum itself, full of | |
| wartime and other planes and equipment. Grandson really enjoyed | |
| the planes etc.. There is also a caf� on site. Anyone interested | |
| in joining in? Either PM me or contact Phil Thornes on 01757 | |
| 630777 for details and an entry form. | |
| Other 'vehicles of interest' are welcome too. | |

| That was me splashing through that puddle. Did you notice the | |
| extras we gained on our convoy? I mean the army convoy that sort | |
| of split us up for a short time. Yes, there were our two series | |
| and a fitted for radio Landy. Don't know if it was a Defender | |
| or maybe earlier. It was an enjoyable run out even though we had | |
| to find another route due to an accident blocking the little | |
| country road we were on. Some interesting buses turned up and | |
| several vintage cars. I particularly liked the Morgan 3 wheeler | |
| with the JAP engine. I am going to try persuade Phil Thornes to | |
| hold this event annually and try to persuade a few more Landies | |
| to attend and have our own mini meeting within the main event. | |

| Have just looked at the photos of the event and found them to be | |
| marvellous. Really enjoyable, as was the whole thing. Buses, | |
| coaches, vintage and not so vintage cars, planes, wartime | |
| vehicles and, of course, some Landies, but not enough of them. | |
| Thanks for the pictures! | |

| I like it as it has a nice mix of interests with the military | |
| vehicles, buses, cars and planes. | |
| Shame more didn't go through the puddle as would have made for | |
| some nice photos. | |
| Missed the MOD convoy was that on the A64? | |

| Yes, A64. There were about eight wagons and a couple of Land | |
| Rovers. They carried on in direction of York after we turned | |
| off. | |
