    Glourious weather, a chance to have fun and do some good. A commemeration run in aid of Combat Stress. The original 1909 run was London to Brighton, we got as far as the Plough Pub Hildenbourough. Mind you be behind a 1890 Panhard going down Star Hill, with the wooden brake blokes smoking is something that will stick in the memory.

    Also used as a bomber, acording to the book 'Air America'. Drums filled with a mix of disiel and Tide detergent, and a WP grenade strapped on, caled 'Hot soup'. They also dropped the first FAE explosives.

    Good and bad. We are now approaching the time when the Great War will leave living memory. Things that may have upset the living will slowly come to light, amongst other things we are approaching the 'Hundred year seal' mark. Going to be an intresting time.
