My first car was a Hillman Avenger 1250. I had a second one further down the line (so to speak), a 1500 with a leathercloth roof. :laughing:

Interesting choice. My stepdad had small Fiats, an 850 followed by a 127.

I suspect the survival rate was not good.
On a quiet night you could hear Vauxhalls rust, Fiats needed ear defenders :wink:

My first flight was in a Tiger Moth as a kid. 20 years later the 2nd flight was in Lufthansa 707 en route to Entebbe

This was the first public display by LZ842 after its rescue and rebuild. And Marinell returned to the UK last year after a few years away in Italy and the U.S.

Today at Didcot - not a steam day but very civilised and plenty of space/time to see everything. Good day out.
