It were allus a part of the Country Code when oi werr a lad - you'm best be slowin' down for 'orses - ooh arrr!


When I was first at the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome some 20 years ago, the way onto the southern side of the aerodrome was via the Bampton railway station gate (7), past JATE, then along the southern MT route (long since closed by some TWATCO). We could afford enough people to man the gate back then... But the best bit was my journey in to work always seemed to coincide with the ride home for a string of horses from the local stable. And many of those riders certainly were both young and pert - like 2 boiled eggs in a hankie from behind, was one of them... And they always smiled and said thank you. Little did they know the real reason for this courtesy!

I'll agree with the 10 Hz passing exposure time, Gainesy!! Or should that be 10 JigglyHertz??


Notwithstanding the levity in my post, my condolences to the bereaved.
