And well done to the owner of this.
He let 2 young lads sit inside whilst waiting for the 11am exit .....
he also did the same on arrival as i was parked next to him, nice chap and the young lad he let sit in was positively beaming, parents were very happy too, had a little chuckle as he couldn't work out how to open the door from the inside...

A great SS so thank you to the team at PH and Aston Martin was a very enjoyable morning and a good excuse for a weekend away.
Great day and thanks to PH and Aston for organising - bought some stickers for my new car too
Managed to grab a chat with Andy Palmer, he explained that they are building the factory with tours in mind and will also allow access to the paint shop, which isn't usually the case. They break ground next so this really was the chance to see a wide collection of Astons in one place and we got the opportunity.
He's a proper down to earth guy and happy to chat - I was surprised more people didn't speak to him!
Look forward to PH tours here - get working Jack
Got pics on my phone so will figure out how to upload and do so.

Thanks to PH and AM for organizing this, it was a great event. I wasn't expecting the amount of cars that were on display. Only had to queue for a little bit on the way in but didn't mind as I was sat behind the awesome sounding GT12
Was a shame the concours section didn't open until after we left though, would've liked to have a closer look at some of the cars & planes in there.
Was definitely worth the 4am start and 300+ mile round trip, looking forward to the next one!

We had PM eventbrite tickets so rocked up at 11.30, no queue, pretty empty. No idea why they even bothered with the tickets, loads of people got in without tickets. When we left at 2.30pm there was a massive queue to get in and it was fairly busy inside.
Amazing collection of Aston Martins, really amazing to see so many classics too. Everyone was really friendly and it was well organised.

Did anyone get the obvious link between the Herc and the Astons? Shamefully, it was my wife that pointed it out to me...
Other than the fact that the last C130K Hercules were flown to St Athan for storage and potential sale? Err, Living Daylights? Or the owner who used to have his cars flown to Works Service in one? Great day.
