Hi Keith,

Congratulations on your award for the Matchless, it must be light years since I won it with my M20..........just looked it was 1989 !

The B of B flight was quite a surprise, but a good end to a great show, with good company.

Chris,

Good photos

Looks like you visited our camp (where the tyres were) and at a guess, on the Sunday , I did not see you about.

There are two photos on there that are odd ones out.........not Canadian, can you spot them?

Hi Richard

Yes, I only managed to visit this part of the camp on Sunday, a few hours before I had to catch the plane back home. So I was in a little bit of rush. But I was luckily to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with the Lancaster. Sadly, the Lancaster wasn't in Duxford the week before nor at Farnborough on Saturday (too strong winds).

Hmm, which odd pics do you mean? Keefy's Aussie DVD's? Or the Fox Armoured Car?

Greetings
Chris

Sorry to have missed you, Chris.

The "odd" photos, not CMP / Canadian, were the Dutch owned Humber MkIV armoured car...........the Fox is a copy of it.

regards, Richard

ooops, shame on me Thought that both would be Fox Armoured Cars. Where can you see the difference? So, i guess the one with the missing gun is the Fox (at least it was written on a badge).

No worries, I'm sure we'll met again next year

Zem..
The machine on the left,with the FOX sign,skillfully placed to hide the front shock sticking up through the front fender is really a Humber..but not good enough...the top of the shock is seen sticking through the fender just above the sign...a poor camo job like that usually gets you killed..
