Bluebird @ Pendine 21st July- [now with pics]

Well I took the day off work (one fact about shift work is that you're always on the wrong shift!) and headed down. I managed to get a pic of Bluebird making the run and a couple of the Napier-Railton.
There were also a few cool cars parked on the beach, so I snapped them as well.

Thank you very much for sharing true legend Malcolm campbell

Missed the Dart and the Gilbern
Did you see the Armstrong-Siddeley Hurricane that arrived late and parked on the sand off to the right of the slipway?

What did you reckon to that yellow Daimler Mrs Merdle-esq mash-up? Seemed like a period chassis with Jaguar Mk X/420G engine, B-W autobox, Jaguar instruments and modern seats in an as yet unfinished body?
Knocked up as a film/TV prop?

The real Mrs Merdle would have made an interesting, if obscure, link to the Railton.

I regret to say I was very disappointed. Naively I expected them to run over a reasonable distance at a reasonable speed.
In the event they ran a few hundred yards at about 40 mph just as a photo-op! Sounded nice though.

The Sunbeam showed its ancient origins, but the Railton was a beautifully engineered work of art - talk of machined from billet!
