I had a graet time in York, the trip to elvingston Airfield on the first day was excellent. There was plenty to see between aircraft, museum displays, and the vintage motorcycle gathering. I met a really nice old man that flew Dakotas during the Berlin airlift in 1948 & 1949. he was also interested in old motorcycles and had a couple of vincents, a 1000cc Rapide and a 500cc Comet that he has had from new. I thought that was impressive until he told me one of his sons owns twelve Vincents!!! The motorcycle display was very impressive, and I just had to take a picture of the old Omega that actually ran like a Swiss watch. The highlight of my holiday was getting behind the scenes in York Minster Abbey and being allowed to wind up the clock. It turned out that the gentleman that I bought the grandfather clock from winds the abbey clocks twice a week. Here are a couple of photos as promised, including the turret clck from the abbey.
