RNAS Armoured Car

In 1914 the RNAS was a new branch of the Navy. It worked with the latest technology and actively recruited men with engineering backgrounds in order to maintain its aircraft and engines.

The Royal Naval Armoured Car Division used an RNAS depot at Wormwood Scrubbs, in London, and started adapting commandeered motor car chassis. These were predominantly Rolls-Royce, Talbot, Wolseley and later Lancaster. *

Dinosaurs in Peterborough Cathedral

As I mentioned in my previous post I was unable to view parts of the Peterborough Cathedral due to it being occupied by invaders.

The invaders were animatronic dinosaurs from the National History Museum.  The exhibiton, entitled, ‘T. Rex: The Killer Question’ explored the question of whether T. Rex was a ferocious hunter or just a scavenger.

The exhibition meant that parts of the Cathedral were off limits unless we purchased a ticket to see the dinosaurs.

Peterborough Cathedral

The Norman Peterborough Cathedral was founded as a monastic community in 654 AD. The Cathedral is the burial place to two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

During our visit the Cathedral was under occupation by a different threat. More on that in my next post.

…. followed by a different walk

Just Me in the sunshine

This walk was there and back again. I wasn’t able to navigate my way around a small muddy area and I wasn’t in the mood for walking through mud ;-)

I ‘was’ in the mood for the glorious sunshine after so many rainy days. Lucky me for choosing an sunny ’slot’.

Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.
