 No doubt where these two are looking. I would have been more interested in the airship and the rather splendid cars. |

Of the four cars seen in this shot, the two below the haystacks are local: TM is a Luton registration. The other two - that on the left and the other, extreme right, have registrations EL [probably] and PR. These are both registered as Bournemouth vehicles. Is that significant? |
