Specs Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 On Wednesday night I had a call from a mate in Reading asking if I fancied meeting up with him and three mates, along with another friend from Southampton at the air museum near Salisbury. Seemed like a plan so set off to get there by 1130. Of course I arrived far too early. Then the rest of them turned up after I'd had the worst cup of tea in living memory. Was well pleased to see this Gloucester Meteor as I probably saw it flying from Llanbedr airfield when I was in primary school nearby And this was one of the drones that they also flew from there. Some of the exhibits My mate from Southampton trying to figure out how to get out Biggles Stopped at this War Cemetery on the way to Avebury. And then after riding past the stones at Avebury stopped for a much needed beer. We rode up to Swindon because the stupid GPS on my mate's bike led us there for fuel. A group bomb burst and a quick blast down the M4 to Reading for a kebab and red wine, before heading home on the Friday along a gridlocked M4 as far as Chepstow. Good to meet a few new faces, and hopefully there will be another ride somewhere interesting before too long. Great collection well worth visiting run by a knowledgable and friendly bunch of volunteers. Highly recommended. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Nice one Alan, that sounds like a great day out. If you're ever in Avebury again and need fuel there is a garage about 4 miles from there on the A4 towards Marlborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were loads of garages on or near our route but the team leader got led astray by his technology. It seems to be a gift with some people! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
