Day 2 heading a bit further south

[Ali and Gail]

So today was not so much about driving but going to The Haynes Museum and Fleet Air Arm Museum.

We took a slow drive in the sunshine from the lovely Wells Cathederal City to Hayes Motor Museum. I was like a kid in a candy shop. Even as we paid our money before we got in the lady at the till said how do you put up with him. Gail said I normally go places twice, second time is to apologise.

It really is a must see place if you ever get the chance but despite all the lovely cars we saw including a 7 we couldn't be happier getting back in Mrs P to continue our day.

Of to Yeovil next to the Fleet Air Arm. Another must see particularly a Puma helicopter still in its colours from its last active service in Iraq in 91 with kills for taking out 5 Iraqi Gunboats and which also served in 84 the Falklands.

Also a Sea Harrier with more kills than I care to mention, many lives lost but we are still free thanks to our armed forces with which I spent 12 years serving with and would do it all again.

There are many other fantastic exhibits to stand in awe of

Again if you get the chance folks you must go. You would not believe some of the machines man put trust in over 100 years ago.

Thankgod for the internal combustion engine which was only foreseen some 660 years ago by Roger Bacon, Franciscan Friar, Philosepher and Scientist. Born 1214 "One day chariots will be constructed with will start and move without the impulsion of man or horse, or any other animal"

It was then a slow drive via Glastonbery and a few lovely Somerset villages to tonight's resting place in Taunton.

The End

The red car looks like a 3 wheel Heinkel I used to have in 1966
