This was held at Long Marston Airfield this year. Why? I have no idea, but will be back at Duxford next year. As usual I went there on a National, GNU568N. Photos taken 22/9/13.

First the Leyland Nationals

And some other buses I liked.

And finally 3 vehicles from Trent past and present

2 new pubs for me in Islington

17/9/13

Went round a few pubs in London.

First stop was the Cock in Hackney. The Howling Hops brewery is in the pub cellar and I had 5 of their beers.

Then on to the first of the new pubs in Islington. The Tap Room was a pop up pub but I believe it is now permanent.

Casks in their own mini cellar behind the jump.

Then to the Earl of Essex.

No pump clips or labels, you have to check the beer board
