Out in the Autumn lanes again. Within 5 minutes of leaving home it sheeted down with rain and I nearly turned back. But I carried on and it was lovely (in a dark and gloomy sort of a way).
Down my favourite lane (Pump Lane).
Back home via one of my favourite pubs - The Snowdrop (not named after the delicate flower but after the UK's most fatal avalanche in 1836, which killed 8 people).

I didn’t know that, I had heard of Bruntingthorpe Proving ground as an automotive testing place. It’s completely full of new cars in storage at the moment, runway and taxiways looking at google maps.
I dug a bit deeper and found the Lightning is a preserved example under the covers. From their website they still run them from time to time. LPG
It reminded me of the Lightning that lived in a scrapyard on the southbound side of the A1 near Newark. It’s nose gradually pointing higher in to the air after engines and other parts were removed. It was a landmark on my childhood journies in that direction!
