Hi all in Tiger land,

My wife and I are headed to England for Vacation at the end of the month for 
a couple weeks.  We will be spending a week in London doing the standard 
tourist stuff, and then for the last week, we are renting a car and probably 
cruising around Southern England.

Is there any Tiger related attractions that are on the must see list in 
London or southern England?

About the only tiger related item we are currently doing is we are going to 
bring along a Johnny Lightning "matchbox" sized Tiger along and release it 
in England as  Travel Bug in the geocaching game with a mission of touring 
England before returning home to the US.  The geocaching game for those not 
familiar with it, is a high tech hide and seek or scavenger hunt type game 
using GPS's to find 'caches' of items that hidden.  Basically using a 
multi-billion dollar military satellite system to find ammo cans and 
Tupperware hidden in the woods.  A travel bug is simply any item that you 
can attach a dog tag with a tracking number on it, and you can give it 
'missions' that the subsequent finders of the object will hopefully help it 
along its way.  The fun part of this one is the Johnny Lightning Tiger is a 
Mk1 in British racing green just like our actual tiger, which is a fun 
coincidence.

We are also planning a trip to see the Shuttleworth collection, which is a 
collection of vintage biplane type aircraft that all still fly on a regular 
basis.  That collection also has some interesting vehicles and motorcycles 
that all still operate on a regular basis, but those vehicles are much older 
than our 60's era tigers.

So any other Tiger related things to do while over there?

Thanks,
Steve
