Final flight of the Vimy
Brooklands retired their Vickers yesterday; caught on film for its final (or so they think) flight. No irony whatsoever in flying over the big Mercedes star on the way.

I can't post the link; not enough posts--search youtube for "Vimy Arrival at Brooklands Museum."

Thanks! But..."welcome?" I've been here for 3-1/2 years. I just don't have much to say.

Ooh--eight posts!

Do you think he switched it off so abruptly because he was going to hit the trees?

That's OK and probably the wisest move.

Almost three years ago, I alleviated all doubt on my very first Post.

Sounds like somebody is fishing for a "Crash Foto" (with trees!) to tease and torment over on the BCFC!
