As the weather was forecast to be rather miserable for wathing aircraft, I selected to abandon my plan to visit the Duxford Airshow, and rather attend the Woobly Wheel MECUK meeting, and watch some classy people and classic cars instead
It was great to meet up - people turning up from far away, - as far as Australia!, you got to admire that enthusiasm !
There were 10 lovely Matra's present - Murena, Rancho, Espace and Avantime, but unfortunately no M530, Djets or Bagheeras, although Greig told me his hope is to have his wonderful S1 ready next summer, and judging from all the fantastic special tools he has built, I'm sure it will be even more stunning.
The weather in the Midlands turned out to be reasonable, - starting with a little drizzle (even if I'm sure The Met Office would have to call it "SEVERE DRIZZLE" or something, as their terms seem to have been devaluated), - and later it dried up - towards the end we even had blue skies and a lovely sunset!
It is always great to meet up with these enthuisiastic, friendly and nice people - knowing this bunch leaves a smile on ones face all the way home.
