Grand day out
Decided this morning to take a day off and head for Bruntingthorpe dashed up from South Wales and arrived to find a few people already parked up on the verge at 11:40 few rumours being banded about as to ETA. Fireman going into Brunty stopped and told us she wouldn't be back til 16:00 - 16:30 decided to wait. Lot more cars arrived and parked both side the road some still with two wheels on the carriage way. Lot of car transporters in and out of Brunty so road width was reduced by the parkers but no blockage. Van with amber light on roof then appears and stops and speaks to the waiters, didn't speak to me or the local guy parked next to me both clear of the carriageway but a guy in a Hi-viz vest introduces himself as a volounteer and tells us she is going to come in from the other end of Brunty, won't see much where we are. Most of the others spoken to by the van man have jumped in cars and driven off by now. Decide to make for the other end and led their by my local man. Well she comes in from the end we left about 4 circuits then you guessed she lands from the end we were at first of all.
Suspect the van man and the volounteer TOSSER were sent out to try and clear the road by telling lies. If you go to Brunty be warned they obviously get complaints from the businesses and feed you duff gen to get you to go to the other end out of the way. Watch out for the TOSSER Hi-Viz Vest and sports a giant gold Vulcan pin badge on his lapel, if I go up there again and see him he is going to receive the rough edge of my tongue. No local Constabulary in evidence looking at the parking but no surprise there.
Despite the day nearly being ruined by the TOSSER it was fantastic to see the old girl in the air, well done to all concerned
