Wright Brothers memorial

[Great Dane]

Does anyone know precisely where the Wright Brothers memorial is ???( They used the site for the first motorised flight in Europe - hence the street name in town)

[Great Dane]

It was more the one at the circuit I was thinking about

Had to nip up to Mulsanne so took the camera. Opposite the chines restaurant is the entrance to the Hippodrome. you enter, keep going down to the main building and in front of that is the parade ring. It's right in the middle.

thanks great stuff - funnily enough we were up that road last year - so we must have passed closed by it (coming from the back doing a 'reckie for a black opps which failed).

the removal of the statue damaged it slightly ... as far as I understand it, the statue will be back once the tramway works have been completed

I seem to remember that the little side road was closed due to the armco and that we had to go back via the industrail estate and a little very norrow and very bumpy country lane..
