Discovering Cold War aircraft in rural Suffolk with my Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre
Join me as I take "Tess" my 1967 Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre on an early morning sprint across Suffolk to explore the beautiful market town of Bungay on the Suffolk/Norfolk border. We tour the town centre's wonderful architecture and then discover some Cold War Jets in the most unexpected place. Welcome to Flixton. However the clocks went back last night and we seemed to be the only ones who were up and at 'em!

Join me as I take "Bess" to show off her new roof at the wonderful Thursday afternoon annual classic car show at Friston - arguably the best of the small Suffolk shows where I take a close up look at my favourite cars on display including Pre-war Triumphs, Rileys, and a great selection of Humbers, and Sunbeams and some immaculate Fords, Rolls Royce and a one owner original Volvo from the mid 70's.

Testing the new accelerator pedal set up on my 1971 Triumph Vitesse Mark 2.

Join me as I try out the new accelerator pedal on "Bess." The old convoluted set up was a Heath Robinson affair to match the standard pedal with the non-standard SU carburettors. This meant an "on-off" pedal feel. I also discover what the correct carburettor needles do for performance!

My planned video this week about the Suffolk Market town of Eye and the RED FEATHER club Museum at former WW2 USAAF Horham had been spoiled by the loss of my audio files. Anyway, it was a beautiful day, Tess (back from her MOT and service) was on song - so here's a little rural driving until next time. With best wishes, Sean.
