Ok thanks. Close to Bridgetown, on the coast. Basically opposite the garrison race course. You rented a car whilst there?

It's really worth a visit.
They've got a superb Concorde exhibition.
Not far over the border, so you can be in and out in a day.
Sounds more like a mission than a visit to a Museum Ernie? Ex Special Forces?
It is a WW2 RAF airbase and all exhibitions are housed in the original hangers and Nissen huts so a visit does have a mission vibe to it.Sounds more like a mission than a visit to a Museum Ernie? Ex Special Forces?
Have you been? It’d mean coming over to the dark side of Scotland for you, mind.
No,I've actually never been to it but I'll need to stick it on the bucket list or tie it in with my next trip to Musselburgh races
Off to Riga in a couple of weeks. Checked the long range forecast and it's -15 during the day and -21 on a night. Yikes. I think less sightseeing and more cosy bars.
Went to the one just outside York a couple of years ago. Elvington. Recommended. Interesting, and at times quite humbling.
Agreed. It was used extensively in the war to launch bombing raids over Northern Germany by the RAF and later the Free French. There's some really thought provoking displays based around those events as well as some wonderful aircraft on display.
Just to point out (before someone else, probably Castro, does), that I mean RAF Elvington was the home of an RAF squadron followed by being the home of the Free French air force.
My appallingly worded sentence ambiguously suggests that once the RAF had finished bombing the Nazis we turned our attention to bombing the Free French.
I mean Churchill probably wanted to, but to the best of my knowledge he resisted and just contented himself with calling De Gaulle a Gallic **** for the next 20 years.
What you wrote wasn’t ambiguous at all. Churchill on De Gaulle - “Everyone has their cross to bear. Mine is the Cross Of Lorraine.”
Just got back from a Cruise around the Canaries. Missed the Blackburn and Saints games. TUI Cruise, third we've been on. The all inclusive is still good value IMO. Decent weather and good entertainment onboard. Flight home late last night a bit hairy. Thick fog coming into East Midlands and an announcement before we were due to land that we were landing on auto pilot and then instructions how to get off quickly if need be?
Blanket pea souper fog on the M1, M18 and M62 coming home, worst I've driven in for years, must have been one hell of a drive home for anyone driving back from Southampton too.

Spending the heating allowance.
You would know, old chap.
Equal amount of praise as outrage when both decisions were announced?
Can't you just perish like the rest of us
To be fair,I did get £150 from Eon under their warm home discount(available to skint old fogies on sick money)...It's been more than appreciated as it's been a cold winter up here so far.
