The Red Arrows were displaying in London today. About 1hr 30 later, while outside tinkering, a lone Arrow flew over, low, slow, with one (maybe two) undercarriage lowered, which I've never seen before around here. Maybe there was a problem, and he was diverting over to Broughton or (more likely) RAF Valley on Anglesey. Why he'd have the gear down I've no idea, from the angle I couldn't make out if both sets of gear were down or not.

I saw a dark-ish red Rover P6 briefly the other day, and today I've seen a brown one, and a green Minor traveller. Both had trailers and were heading (separately) towards Chester, so perhaps there's something on in North Wales. There was a blue Mk2 Escort around earlier, too. |

Drove up to Gaydon today, on the trip up there must have been a run on near Stratford. We passed 4 or 5 E types, some MG's a lovely 50's Wolseley, a Riley Elf and some TR's of various ages. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Saw a nice Massey Harris tractor ripe for restoration on the back off truck this morning, heading off presumably to a new owner. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Nice finds to photograph. The railmotor appears to be a Pierce Arrow, probably of about 1923.
The Model T Ford snowmobile would be very useful in the winter time. _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

Thanks for identifying the rail motor Dane. I was ok with the Model T but all the rest were a mystery to me.

Alistairq is right IMHO. K series International Harvester Co trucks.
Re the T- There is a dedicated US group of T-ers who go out in their snowmobiles each winter.

Yesterday morning, (June 15th), an interesting convoy of classics passed through the village heading west.
The majority were Triumph TRs - 2, 3, 4 and 5, a gold S1 E type FHC (without front number plates) and one MGB. _________________ Starting Handle Expert
