Hi y'all
Whilst watching the BTCC from , I think, Donnington Park on the old goggle box the other afternoon I cought the brieffest glimps of what looked like an aircraft on one of the bridges ( Handley Page HP.115 ?) .Has anybody been to Donny and seen this or is it just my old eyes playing tricks?

Rory Manton vaguely muttered something like ...
DP is situated right next to East Midlands Airport, which has an Aircraft Museum, which is possibly what you saw. Last time I raced there I can't remember seeing a plane on a bridge though ...
IT'S A PUPPET! seriously it's a cut out of a plane probaly advertising Nottingham?!! airport.
Cheers, Roy.
It may have been taking the scenic route...
Schiphol has a strange way to get to one of the runways - along a kind of 'plane motorway' - over the 'real' motorway. First time I knew of this was when driving down the motorway and saw a plane crossing above. I thought this was taking VFR to the extreme (visual flight rules). Next time I flew out of Schiphol - to make my day (not likin' flying an all) the plane took the same route... odd, very odd.
Ah, not the: "Robin Hood, Doncaster, Nottingham, South Yorkshire, Barnsley and Wakefield Area Metropolitan International Airport" then...
(local 'in' joke).
Dunno but time gone by when I used to drive into London on the great west road, there was a warehouse, Vanguard I recall and it used to have an EE lightning perched on the top, and later sommat else. How they got it there I know not.
THERE IS!
Its on a bridge at Starkeys Corner, Just after the old hairpin. Its a replica of the blue bird land speed record car.
Cant seem to find any pics though..........
