Eastbound near Newbury - not something you see every day!

(Was on a trailer not trying to break another record sadly!)

Babs was at Brooklands to take part in the ceremonial re-opening of the start/finish straight, now that the Bellman hangar (which sat there since 1940) has been re-erected adjacent to the track. She then tore up and down the freshly-exposed concrete in the company of Blue Bird II and the Napier-Railton.

Thanks, great to see it with the hangar moved.
