Some great vehicles there in nice light- also like the little green Wolseley (C20) and the Ford Prefect police car (C11) on your Flickr page. See you managed to get shots of the Pennine Blackpool Express as well- I was on Kirkham Station for that.

I’ve decided to go with this one purely for nostalgic reasons. This was the first Boeing 747 I ever saw, photographed with my first SLR camera, on my first ever trip abroad! PH-BUB “The Danube” at Amsterdam Schiphol in April 1971 (delivered to KLM on 4 March 1971). https://farm8.staticflickr.com/782...

OMG it's like going back in time! Just imagine if we could have photographed all those lovely aircraft back then, with the cameras of today, with limitless amounts of digital shots instead of film!
Absolutely brilliant, Andy.
Best Wishes.
