Another tenuous link, but on a trip to this part of the world, a Train enthusiast just has to visit the magnificent Forth Rail Bridge.

Ah, places like Shuttleworth and Duxford have photographic evenings , models etc provided .
If you have any interest in aviation , I can heartily recommend IWM Duxford and you will often find historic warbirds , in test flights .

All that’s true but you still need an eye for drama and composition.

Hah! About the only time the young ‘Nebula’ sat down without coming to see exactly how interesting everything in my bag was. And my shoes. Any the little dangly thing off my wrist strap. And frankly any bit of grass, twig, leaf or feather that wasn’t tied down

Hopefully the scope of this thread is wide enough to allow some steam engines. These were at the Biddenden tractor fest at the weekend.
Louby-Lou even managed to find one her own size.
The smaller engines are real labours of love, mostly painstakingly scratch built in the owners garage or workshop over many years.

Challenging conditions at the Wattisham Families Day today. I went home, disappointed, resigned to not getting any pics. Then my plane tracker showed the BBMF’s Lancaster on its way. I messaged a neighbour, and we went with his grandson to a lay-by under the approach just in time. Chuffed. Neither of them had seen or heard a WWII aircraft before!

It stirs the blood and the emotions

I was at the Queen Mother’s funeral and the BBMF sent the Lancaster, a Spitfire and Hurricane over Whitehall. The noise is truly amazing but it brings with it the emotion of the times and the sacrifice those aircraft represent and on that day, of all days, was overwhelming.
