Lancia of the day - the Ardea. Non Lancia of the day - the Fiat 3P sneaks it over the Ballila. Treat of the day - a four door Alfasud was my first car and we failed to find one (and we looked...) last year so its a rare treat and a delight, BUT the stratochamber and supersonic wind tunnel is an amazing thing and tops that easily. The wind tunnel was an afterthought. They realised a huge low pressure chamber would make a power source, they fed it from a balloon of dry air next door. They managed mach 4 for 40 seconds from it per go. The stratochamber was used to test all sorts from cold starting engines to icing on ships to expedition clothing as well as aircraft. It was built at Barrow by the submarine yard and is the "set" for the Classic Car Show with Jodie Kidd and Quentin Wilson. http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/explore/the-stratosphere-chamber/ |

Wonderful stuff. What on earth is the huge dark grey single seater number 5?

David,
Great pics ... really captured the variety of cars and some of the small details that we all enjoy so much.
Would it be OK if I borrowed the pics of the Brooklands display with the B20 and Appia to help the Museum magazine, and the same for Viva Lancia (I will credit them to you).
Many thanks
Adam Tindell

Anyone - everyone - help yourself to any pictures of mine. A credit is appreciated but not required.
Anyone - everyone - if you want the original size image just let me know...
Adam - email me if its just the ones of your car or if you want the whole set. If its the whole set I find it easiest to burn a disk and post it for all my dad and everyone else tries to convince me DropBox or FlikR or whatever else is "a job of moments" it always seems to be grief.

A few more from Saturday, Brooklands reported 5000 visitors on site Saturday during the test hill briefing, did any one count the cars?!  |

Was the Stratos genuine? It has Italian plates but almost looks too pristine for an ex-works car.

It had the correct engine etc - so I do think it's genuine

Wow! thanks for that David. Took me back to Clipstone Forest on the RAC Rally in the 70s. All that way just to have the Stratos pass by at full chat a few feet away. Unforgettable!  Robin |
