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.

Only 2 series Land Rovers turned up for this but some fun was
had due to heavy rain fall.

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.
