Aeroplane monthly magazine are proposing to publish a Data Base of the Vanguard in the next issue ( January 2012). Why are they always a couple of months ahead - I've just received my Dec 2011 issue today!

Re: Vanguard
Silly really, you go to get it in January and it will be long gone.
Why can't they just put it out in the current month.

Re: Vanguard
I suppose I should have said 'the next issue' - but that could be just as confusing?
Dave B next time you are at Brooklands give my uncle a 'pat on the head' please - his ashes are there somewhere near the Pavillion I believe.
( R.R.(Ron) Paine).
BTW as an apprentice I worked on the Prototype Vanguard, helped setting the engine controls in the Flight shed, also some sundry bits during its gestation.

Re: Vanguard
Hi Keith 
There's a small garden area not far from the Pavillion behind the Strat Chamber. He may be there mate.. I'll look for a commemorative plate tomorrow
Re Aeroplane.. in all the years I've bought it, I've never realised the discrepancy with the issue date. Shows how much attention I pay In reality, I rarely buy each one now. I look at the cover and if something gets my attention, I buy it. Otherwise, it stays on the shelf

Re: Vanguard
Keith..
Had a crap day.. the car broke down as I got to Brooklands and it rained like a good'un for most of the time I was there. However, I made sure I went and had a look in the Garden of Remembrance and I took these for you. My sincere apologies for them not being sharp.. I didn't have the camera with me at the time so I took these quickly on the phone as the rain eased..
Garden entrance..
The inner part..
Your uncles plate down at the end..
It's a nice little area mate and well kept. I said hello for you
Will take some more with the camera if you wish.. as long as it's not raining!

Re: Vanguard
DaveB, Many, many thanks for your efforts, those pictures are more than adequate. I made it to his funeral in 2004, a month after moving here to France, but I could not make it to his memorial service held at Brooklands, although my son did make it for the family.
I have not seen any pictures before of this area, so again many thanks.
My father was also very much associated with Brooklands & reputedly was also a Vickers apprentice ( as was Ron) & myself of course! My father said he was kicked out of Vickers after 6 months, but then joined Brooklands Aviation & worked also for various private owners. He flew a lot with George Lowdell whilst testing the Wolseley Aero engine ( which came to nought).
Kind regards
Keith
PS, you have had a crap day - just saw that your video card died as well as your car - whats third? Hope your car was mended easily ( & cheaply!)
