Yes, especially the two-tones. I've heard them more often recently, but you couldn't beat the air-horn-based ones.

Additional to your comment, I find that modern cars do not have the good all round visibility of older cars. They now have dark tinted windows and tiny rear windscreens so that the internal rear view mirror doesn't have anything like a good view. Get a car with the lane assist and it is constantly trying to drive into the middle of the road unless you can veto it.

Indeed, play it by ear. You don't have to pull over immediately, the idea is to make it easy for them to get past, if that means driving for a few hundred yards or more so be it. They are professional drivers and will recognise what you are doing.

totally agree... the traffic flow needs to continue to flow if you expect the blue lights to get past. sure, stop in places out the way but only as long as there will be enough space left for the people behind and ahead of you.

@@cccenturion4480 totally... to add to that, i find indicating left really helps as it gives the bleu lights confidence that you are pulling over because you have shown that you have acknowledged them and are getting out the way

You're welcome - always said The Rezillos were the best live group of the time and they don't disappoint forty years on.

Yes, I saw that one. I don't have time to go much further east but Brockenhurst looks a good location. I've a plan for next week though.

Just had a look - that's a mighty fine layout. Nice chatting with you this afternoon.

I have another layout in the garden shed with completed scenery but only temporary wiring which is called Marpit Sidings and is also on KZbin.

She's got a cracking bark, hasn't she? My cheapo camcorder just can't capture it well enough.

I was stood at the RH end also at about the point the C-47 wingtip was closest to the fence, about 10 metres behind the Catalina tour entrance. I didn't move the whole time so that I didn't get my space nicked.

+Pedro Conejo ah ok, I was directly behind the C-47 and my goodness did it create wind when starting ! Also got some nice shots of it, and some good video footage. I might upload it to youtube...

SPITFIREPILOT I look forward to seeing the video.

Thanks.

+Amnas2011 Thanks. The railway is close to the flightpath for East Midlands but I don't think the Vulcan had been there, it flew in from the opposite direction. I'm not sure the flypast was a scheduled part of its route; it was displaying at Old Warden that afternoon and I suspect that's where it was heading. It was a nice surprise anyway as it's the last time I'll see it in the air.

Thanks Pedro for ur kind inform,anyway really like steam trains,here in Poland nowadays are any,(I think so),greetings:)

Proszę

andyrowlands50029 Thanks.

That engines starter must have been red hot...

Yeah, I studied at Wilmorton too. 'Studied' might be too strong a word though.

Hi Philip. Thanks for the comment. I use a Contour Roam 1600 HD on the helmet and my bike is an old Subway Carrera I - with a lot of non-standard replacement parts. It lived with me in Spain before coming to England. Unfortunately, my new job means that I can't ride every day and I'm stuck in the car. I really miss it - although I do ride down that way whenever I can.
