Thanks David
Unfortunately couldnt get to Bovington David, but we did go to Duxford on the recommendation of the other lads. More on that later...
These ones are of James Goslings impressive collection. I had the pleasure of meeting James and his mates and they were very welcoming and very very generous with their time... Left to right - Fox, HUP, Otter front, Otter rear, C15TA Armoured truck

Best of British
My goodness, this is an awfully nice vehicle, don't you know...?
Met Alex Scott, and he and James (the chap on the right in the first picture) took me for a jolly spin in his Humber Super Snipe. This vehicle has an amazing history and Alex had me in tears (of laughter) at one stage doing his Women's Auxillary Driver impersonation, when he was describing some of ladies who had driven the vehicle during the war. Many thanks Alex, great to have a beer with you as well. Was a real pleasure meeting both of you.

Fun
How often does anyone get to go for cruise in an Otter??
Thanks to a very generous gesture by James Gosling, I did get such a chance. The Otter went really well - The GMC engine happily hauling it with no trouble. Went into Hythe, which is situated on the coast for round trip of 10 miles. Great to meet James mates, Jim and Andy. Fella's I had a ball, cant thank you enough. And James I have already read the book you gave on the Otter from cover to cover. Sorry I ddn't get back for another beer Andy, I do hope there is a next time.
