I love these events Silverstone auctions put on - some great locations , and it’s free to get in!

Saw the only fools and horses musical on Friday night (brilliant) and then headed over to Hendon Saturday morning to see what was on offer :

Of the cars, I would take the 30-98.

It will bug me for a bit 'till I work it out.

Great pictures indeed! The most shiver-inspiring one for me is the SEPECAT Jaguar, having been on exercise where these were in use. Scary.

I'm sure the desert scene is a B-24 righr enough, but not sure of the variant.

I can tell you why, people go insane
I can show you how, you could do the same
I can tell you why, the end will never come
I can tell you I'm, the shadow on the sun

It is indeed a Hafalax. I was thinking of the later version B 3 which had a glazed nose minus a turret and forgot the B 2 which had a nose turret.
