Indeed I do know where you are. If you see Steve Gray at AC cars say hello.

Another from gearheads. A series on hot rod and kustom car builders and owners based in the U.K.
these two guys at Prescott Hill for the inaugural GOW hosted by the VHRA and eastcoast sidewinders. These two chaps travelling all the way from the eastern side of Germany to participate.
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Open up, reach out, ask for help, talk about your fears. #Suicide line: 9-8-8 anywhere in Canada.❤️

Coastal Defence work and the places he knew and had been stationed. He also served down in Cornwall during those three years and could navigate there without a map easily into the 1990’s.
I have a number of stories. Particularly about Burma. He was a signals officer, seconded from his Royal Warwickshire regiment to a division of the Leicesters who went out with the Durham light infantry.
I have his medals & his Kukri Gurkha knife. When I did my MA I was researching surviving veterans
My father was stationed there, and also in Blakeney in Norfolk, on coastal
defence from 1939-41. In 1942 he was deployed to Burma returning home in 1946 a full year after the wars end.
A man wearing a flat cap, seated upon a vintage 1965 BSA thunderbolt motorcycle parked in front of his 1930’s Chrysler Airflow car, inside a barn somewhere in darkest Suffolk/Norfolk borders.
Another gearhead with a Chrysler airflow and a 65BSA. As you do and have barns full of interesting old vehicles.

A landscape format photograph on a sunny day in which a man and a woman lean against a 1963 ford falcon station wagon in front of the garage. Their son sits on his yellow schwinn bicycle with a stack of vintage skateboards next to him. They all are cool, laconic, exuding style and a retro vibe.
From my series Gearheads, a delve into the British hot rod and kustom car scene. Where passion and skill resurrect vintage vehicles in the ultimate act of recycling.
