Car Park Finished!

At last our car park is finished, and very nice it looks to. What was supposed to have taken 2 to 3 weeks ended up being more like 2 to 3 months. To be honest no one could have forecast what a miserable September/October, and begining of November we were end up having with virtually constant rain throughout. What a disruption to normal business its all been, its really nice to be getting tidy again. Iv'e spent all of this afternoon pressure washing the buildings down that surround the car park, of concrete splashs and general dust, mud and dirt. I don't know how they managed it but the car park guys even managed to get concrete splashs on our Vitesse 6003VC, and that's in the museum, not a happy bunny!

Another Spitfire?

After the excitement of ADU 4B it has been very difficult to motivate myself to get enthusiastic about anything else, hence no Blog for a week. That was until a chance conversation with a freind about an important Spitfire that might be available locally, here we go again! It's all a bit vague this time but from the little information I have its definitely worth pursuing. What else is happening here? Well the car park works are dragging on, not helped by the miserable October weather. We are about three quarters done now, but that last bit seems to be taking the longest. Even when complete, we will be unable to drive on it for over a week. We really would have liked to have had another one of our open days, but with the way things are and the uncertainty about the car park its just to difficult to contemplate at the moment. Something to look forward to for the near future though!
