Some TVR owners who I know on Facebook are currently doing the NC 500 on their motorbikes.Lets hope they have plenty of wet wipes for the visors.
We went to watch the classic racing at Dijon Prenois.
On the way down we called in here:
And also visited Chateau de Savigny-lès-Beaune where the owner has a rather unique interpretation of what makes a nice garden ornament:
In total just over 1,600 miles and the Griff performed faultlessly apart from bizarrely losing a centre piece off one of the Estorils (the retaining bolt was still in place, so perhaps the centre piece had gone brittle with age and somehow snapped off).

I think like cars there was a golden age where airplane design was about aesthetics before aerodynamics took over.
Entitled to your opinion even if it is utter b
ks. Aerodynamics has always been at the forefront of aircraft design, it's just that our understanding of it has evolved continuously over time. You think the Concorde looked like it did because of aesthetics ? Same for the Constellation et al. Today's fighters go beyond natural passive aerodynamics and are designed to be unstable for manoeuvrability with the compooters keeping it under control. If you can make something aerodynamic and at the same time good looking, that's a bonus e.g. flush rivets, polished, curved surfaces.
