A few more pics from the Norwich Aviation Museum, including some cockpit sections housed in a temporary "tent" type building, one of which is a rare Buccaneer S1 cockpit.
Later that week, I met a really pleasant chap, who was following the Round Britain Rally, an event for motrobikes and three-wheeled vehicals of all ages.
Jamie had traveled from Sussex, and is 73 years young, a former Merchant Navy seaman, and still riding bikes, although he recently downsized from a 1400cc monster to a still big enough 650cc, as the bigger bike was getting a bit heavy for him !!
I'd loaned him a water container when he arrived on the campsite with his 'bike, small tent and basic equipment (obviously having to travel light), and, when he returned from his day's tour the following day, he thanked me by bringing a couple of bottles of excellent, single malt whisky over to the van. He'd visited the English Whisky Company, at St.Georges Distillery, at Roudham, further north in Norfolk , and bought some rather expensive examples, at £42 per bottle.
I have to admit, that, between us, we put a very large dent into the contents of one of the smooth, peaty flavoured bottles, and I certainly didn't need any rocking that night, getting to sleep.
A really nice chap, and I enjoyed our conversation ( and drinks !) in the warm evening sun. Pics of Jamie and his 'bike, and a leaflet from the Distillery.
I'm planning to head back to Norfolk on the weekend, and will probably stay until the end of September, when I'll close-up the 'van for the winter.
With luck, Max's Buchon flight might take place, and i also hope to get "out and about" in the region, when i should get some pics of the local area.
