There are a lot of Pathfinder and ex RAF places near me plus Shuttleworth and Gransden. Sitting in the garden/river bank is a free air show most fine weekends.

Yes. Lanc flew did London/Hendon fly past. Apparently landed at Cranfield before heading home to be met by four Typhoons (there was one over Cambridgeshire at one point) and a fly past of 28 former bomber command bases around Lincolnshire until just after 8pm.

A Rolls Royce Cullinan on the A1 near Hatfield yesterday morning. I had to google it. smile

Colour was what I would describe as “battleship grey”

Personal opinion: ugly cars! I don’t like the look of them at all.

Belongs to a friend of mine, it is a lovely example.

Funnily enough I spotted you only a few moments later going through the crossroads but you wouldn't have seen me.

It seems to come and go from his driveway so I’m not sure to be honest - the yellow is my favourite colour, lovely to see it out and about!

I was in Stony Stratford and saw it do a few circuits overhead. Amazing!
