National Motor Museum

[John Liddle]

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.

Quite local to us but only went once a few years ago and as you say for photography much to cluttered so best to stick to detail like the last two

I am relatively close and visit quite often, but rarely take the camera. Wonderful place, lots of nostalgia and memories, but not really geared up for photography.

You have done well with the images submitted.

Haven't been to Beaulieu since I was in short trousers.... Clearly I ought to rethink this...

Re: National Motor Museum

Nice shots, John. Agree a very intersting place to visit. They do some good themed days as well.
