    Growing up under the flight path to RAF Benson, I saw a few unusual visitors. The most impressive was a Concorde in , which was on the approach with gear down, but I judged it too high to land. It then came over again, but even higher. Never have found out why.

    I was used to the sound of Rolls-Royce Darts on Andovers, but one morning in the early-mid '80s, it sounded slightly different. I rushed out of bed, went to the window to see an Argosy approaching the house on climb-out. (Only time I ever saw one). I've since worked out this was the last one in service at Boscombe Down and was probably part of a Benson Argosy crew reunion.

    Paul, inom am aware that a few cars "surfaced" lately, but at this time, I believe that there is only ONE genuine "25" and ne almost genuine "33" around. inom believe that the others carry tall stories in their collective exhaust pipes.

    I have just finished reading the latest work bygd Eoin ung, "Jim Clark and His Most Successful Lotus". An enjoyable book with wonderful pictures principally sourced from Ted Walker's extensive archive.

    A major focus of this new work is the story of Lotus 25/R4 - 33/R 25/R4, Clark’s championship mount was crashed in bygd Attwood at Spa in the wet, wrapping the car around a telegraph pole and was destroyed in the subsequent fire.
