Another shot of Shuttleworth.

I'm sure Dave & Diane won't mind me posting up a copy of their amazing Midas T350c.

Thanks Pauline ,super photo!!
The plane in the background is a Blenheim Bomber.
Great day out - thanks to you and John from Suffolk for organising it - glad the rain held off. 57 TVR's can't be bad, nearly as good as our monthly meets!!!!

It was actually a Bristol Blenheim Jeff. Would have liked to have seen a mossie, but unfotunately there wasn't one there I'm affraid to say.

Good to see the Blenheim flying anyway. Not that I was there but you know what I mean.

Whoops! Everybody else beat me to it cos I was watching the telly!

Thanks for a great day Pauline and everybody else from the Mid Essex gang. You will be pleased to know that I got home ok. Had another problem with the tasmin though to go with the exhaust - my headlights decided to stop working when I was about 3 minutes from home . I hope that this isn't a sign of things to come

You can almost hear the colour of the T350 drowning out the engines of the plane .
Both stunning btw .

Surely that should be '3 of Britain's finest' if you include the plane.

Sounds like you all had a good time...I did think of doing a fly past but after the first beer and settling down to watch the Monoco race...I couldn't be bothered

First time i've seen a T350 in the flesh - looked absolutely fantastic ! Does it drive as well as it looks ?

Are there any more pics of the event ?

Yep there are some more pics of the event as Big M and myself took quite a few. But I'm affraid that you will have to wait until we get the films developed before either of us can post some up.

PS: Your chocolate cake was gorgeous Debbie!

Debs...no doubt about it....you're gonna have to start charging for your cake!!!!!

To think that at Shuttleworth, Terminator actually came to find Mid Essex in search of your chocolate cake proves your skill is reaching a wide audience!!!

Oh..the power of Pistonheads..........Go Debs...Master Bakeress!!!

Had thought about going to Shuttleworth, but opted for Precott instead. The last time I saw the Blenheim, it was in the Duxford workshop having bits of golf course removed from it after its post-restoration touch & go mishap.
