Very good and as we went midweek in term time there were not too many people or kids around only small groups on school trips.

With little or no expectations we ( three blokes 60+) went to Bedfordshire to visit the Shuttleworth collection. A wonderful display of very early aircraft and some motor vehicles. The attached history as the machines changed from expanding man’s vision and imagination into war machine and the consequential loss of human life is staggering. Nevertheless it is a wholly enjoyable corner of the country and one which needs preservation.
As an added bonus the tranquility if the Swiss gardens made for a most enjoyable end to the excursion.
