Francois_Dumas Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Where did you see that Pitts Special? Kidlington ?? Link to comment
Steve1962 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Francois , Andy told me it was a Pitts [ I told him I didn't think it was the pits , I thought it was great :grin: ] . That was at Kemble airfield in Gloucestershire . Steve Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Brings back memories. Used to land my Tiger Moth at Curtis Pitt's airfield in homestead, florida. Short grass field with large trees at both ends. Knocked some branches off the top with my undercarriage the first time I landed. Thanks for the pics/glad to see you both out enjoying your moto's.

Boffin Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well I got home safe and well a couple of hours ago having cut short my planned ride due to impossible holiday traffic heading back toward London at the end of a three-day weekend. That Pitts was fun to watch and was a visitor, it had an US registration. The trip over the pond must have been fun I thought I would add a couple of my pictures. We had a short stop in Lacock, home of Lacock Abbey famous as the place where William Henry Fox Talbot invented the negative/positive photographic proceess. In recent times it has been used as a set for some scenes in the Harry Potter films. Parked up in Lacock: An ancient preaching cross outside the village school: Steve in the schoolyard: This imposing pub caught my eye: Perhaps his wife kept asking what time he got home last night? The rest of my photos are Round Britain Rally landmarks and therefore not to be published before November. Once again, a great days rideing made all the better by sharing at least part of it with Steve. Andy Link to comment
Mark P Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Kemble's one of my frequent weekend ride out haunts - usually to have a cup ofcoffee in the cafe and watch the aircraft come and go - I might have seen you there today, if I hadn't been stuck at home trying to shake off a cold! Link to comment
Twisties Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Pub caught your eye, did it now? Well I'm not surprised. It seems you Brits have integrated training for passing sobriety checks into your grade school curriculum, you can never start too early you know. Sobriety check training field: Link to comment
Steve1962 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Carved in 1824 ..... .and before anyone says it , there is no truth in the rumour that this photo is Andy's driving license :grin: Glad to see you got home safely Andy - it took me over two hours from Longleat , the traffic was already building up then .

Sobriety check training field: Andy has done many hours of " research" in pubs throughout the land , purely historical [ or should that be hysterical ] ........ Steve Link to comment
Rocer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Steve / Andy I too enjoy your pics for their clarity, richness of colour and thoughtful composition. I would be interested to know what you are using in the way of cameras / lenses. Paul D Link to comment

Paul D I've got a Canon EOS 400D and a Tamron lense [ can't recall the specifics without having it in front of me ] - I am truly ignorant of its technical capabilities , but one day plan to find out - in the meantime I learn as I go along - Andy has far more technical know how than I do .
