fanally a canada goose. all in all it was quite an enjoyable day and like the show at basingstoke a freebie for the public. did make a donation to the little ships fund. some of those boats were carrying 40 odd troops at the time. an interesting thing there were 2 more like dunkirk, forgotten the names now. one rescued 180,000 from the beaches the other about 40,000 from the beaches. there a bit of useless info for yer. no doubt someone will come up with the codenames of the other 2.

it wasn't a bad day, i was hoping there would of been a blower bentley or 2 but no. there were a couple of rollers there in need of a paint job which made the show from the point they weren't all showroom condition.
