I had never visited Beaulieu before, but yesterday I went with my local vintage tractor club - a very interesting place.
I was absolutely delighted to see Alan Allard's dragster there (the first British dragster) - I well remember going to see it compete against Dante Duce's Mooneyes machine (specially shipped over from America) at RAF Woodvale in 19-umpty-ump, when I were nobbut a lad.
Although there is virtually no scope for uncluttered images within the museum, below are some things which caught my eye.
