Anybody else watch it? Has anybody actually been to their premises? I love seeing the old cars and am pleased there are so many of all types still alive. Here in Stoke on Trent a lot more of these old cars are seen on the road now being used as daily transport. No tax and tests has probably helped with money being short because of the Covoid! My first car was a left hand drive, three speed column change with a broken handbrake! Cost me £25 in 1966. I had just turned 18 and was on my first posting in the RAF having just finished my 3 years apprenticeship at Halton. I come from Sunderland and the posting was to RAF Acklington on the east coast just outside Ashington( where Bobby Charltons family lived). You got to the airfield along a farmers lane just off the A1. Right on the coast and that winter it was so cold the barracks literally froze up in ice sheets. We lived in WW1/WW2 wooden barracks T shaped with the leg of the t being sleeping and the top being the corridor/toilets that joined them together. It was a Monday to Friday station being the No6 FTS flying Jet provosts. Most of the blokes were scotsman as the station was the nearest to their "home" as they had asked for a posting in or near Scotland. Luckily for them Ashington was on the main line North so every Friday midday they left to catch the train and returned late Sunday. There was nothing to do at the weekend. No Naafi or nowt. With no car or bike I was stuck. Now I could drive but had no licence. But desperate men do desperate things! One of the "scalies" recently returned from Germany had fetched a LH drive Opal Kadett back and wanted to sell. I found out and asked to view. Unfortunately I made the biggest mistake in that it was pitch black and barely could see with a torch. But it ran so said yes. I ran that car to and from home until one day the right front wheel bearing collapsed whilst we were off to watch Sunderland play. The following car behind me flagged me down saying there were sparks coming from the wheel. I turned round and headed back to the camp. Parked on the car park and as we got out and shut the door the wheel fell off1 The only thing keeping it on was the wheel arch! Those were the days. I was posted to Singapore not long after and just left the car donated to the camp funds!
