Here's one from a while back: my old Humber with an even older Britannia:

Quemerford, I recall seeing 'CF intact somewhere, can only assume it was at Manston - is that where your pic was taken?

Yes indeed. This is another Humber I owned, and another Manston resident:

Gotta love a Corvette Bronze '68 SS396 Camaro. Only way it could be more perfect would be if were also a Rally Sport. :wink:


Both mine... Hard to get the toys in one place for a photo like this.

I had never seen a Corvette Bronze Camaro until I bought mine. Still haven't seen another in person, but they are all over the internet, not as rare as I thought. Would have loved an RS, but you have to jump when the right deal comes at the right time. I recently installed a '68 Vette tri-power on the Camaro in place of the cast iron Quadrajet manifold. Runs pretty good now!

Yeah, I certainly remember the C-119! Ex Belgian AF and registered in Equatorial Guinea if memory serves.

I would have identified the car as a Hillman Hunter and have just been educating myself via Wikipedia! :D

Can't possibly get any more British then "Humber Super Snipe", one of the greatest automotive names ever.

Do I get extra credit for multiple cars and airplanes? These were taken at Butler Aircraft’s hangar in Redmond, Oregon on March 18th 2008.

This was taken at Hangar 4 in Sanford, Florida in early 1983. Express Airways was leasing the hangar at that time. Not sure about the little yellow car on the right side of the picture. I don’t remember who drove that one. On humid days with the doors closed the floor was always wet and very slippery. The Boss wore leather soled shoes. It helped to keep him in the office rather than on the shop floor most of the time.

The yellow car is a Morgan, a well known sports car from a small volume manufacturer which has used that iconic design for decades...and which is still in business.
