    A good run up to Carlisle for a look round to see some 'old friends' from my RAF days followed by a good run through the Lakes. Keswick, Borrowdale Valley, Honister Pass, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Cockermouth and home. Perfect.

    Great photos. The Z3 looks like the perfect small convertible for Lakes roads.

    Sounds like a great day out. I grew up surrounded by aircraft - my father was in the RAF, and when he left he worked for Avro (Hawker Siddely) at Woodford, Cheshire. That Vulcan bomber is most likely one that he worked on. I went to the air show at Woodford every year. Sadly it's gone, and is now a large housing estate. :(

    Great days mate but as you say, much has long since disappeared
