A brilliant shot of the Vulcan and I was also sad to hear they aren't going to keep it airworthy after this year. I can understand the reasoning but even so it feels wrong not to keep at least one example airworthy if only because it's so strikingly different from the others in the fleet.

moving back to cars....   that front bay is looking very tidy, are the reservoirs for a dual circuit brake system or have you put in an hydraulic clutch ?

Hi Dave Brian the white one just been restored on trailer just for transport , they are next door to Marcos cars  say Hi for me Derek

[EuropaTC]

Hey, if you're going to the show, how about taking some pictures for us lesser mortals ?  I'd like to see what the Marcos scene is like these days although I can't ever see me getting back to one.

The Pipers look cool and it's one of those things that gets me all misty eyed. When you think back to the 60s & 70s there was undoubtedly a load of rubbish around the Kit Car scene but equally there were some little gems that your average bloke might actually get to own.  I've been scanning some old Donnington photos recently and some of the things you used to see....
