We have been clearing up the tons of sand and soil today washed down into our garden during the storms recently. It will take a couple of weeks I expect to finish the job because we can only do a bit at a time before we get shattered.
While I was doing the Flash of Red theme this photo was Plan B when it came to the 'red' photo. In the end I used another photo of a pendant, but thought I would post this one today as I already had it in my store of photos.
I have quite a few model cars in a collection and I thought these four were significant because of our history. Pickfords because we moved house 16 times during our time with the RAF and the RAAF, Yorkshire Post because I originate from Yorkshire, Oxo because my Mum had a grocery shop when I was a child and the RAF vehicle because of David's time in the RAF.
Beautifully presented Babs, each bringing back some lovely memories for you both, I have links to them all to, used Pickfords 3 times, taken photographs for the Yorkshire Post before they went on line in July 2019, we us OXO most weeks, worked on a few RAF stations as a contractor electrical engineer early in my carer:)
What an amazing description of how these vans effected you! And a beautiful picture with the pop of red of one of them. OXO was and is still popular in the Maltese Islands.
@onewing I was on a few like RAF Waddington, Scampton, Swinderby, Newton, Sealand, Fort George, Lossiemouth mainly designing and installing new generating and power distribution systems, also much later work on secure communication systems at HMS Warrior (Nato Comand HQ), also in Whitehall defence buildings:)

@pcoulson I wonder if you spent time on any of the RAF camps we were at. David is an electrical engineer.
@maggiemae Too hot to be shovelling sand today Maggie, so glad we were out and had a day off.
