About 3 weeks ago I, Zed, set off on a drive round Europe.
First stop was at the de Havilland Heritage Centre just off the M25 at South Mimms - mostly to see that gorgeous piece of kit, the Mosquito. They have one fully restored (obviously not in flying order), one being built, and the original prototype which is also currently being restored ...
There's a range of de Havilland aircraft there, and it's a great, relaxed place to go ... plenty of old buffers hanging around with tales of their flying days ...
A chap has pretty good access to the aircraft on display, too:
Black & white:
Then it was off to Dover to catch the ferry to France:
On board, I made the most of the facilities on ofer by fending off small children in the play area ...
More to come soon!
