Hi the list:
I'm on punishment duty here stationed at the beach in Cannes for the film
festival. I thought I'd see a few LBCs or others, but little luck so far.
I've seen French, German and Italian machines of every marque and age,
however very few sporty British cars. However, today two nice recent MGs
zipped by. I will continue to watch for a Triumph of any type.
In the meantime I sit glass-in-hand at the Canadian pavilion at the water's
edge. It's a lovely day. Looking across the harbour I note that there are a
few dozen small personal boats floating out there. Small things like
four-masted sailing ships the length of a football field and motor-yachts
that are just barely smaller than the cruise ship anchored next to them. One
5-decker just slowly passed by and, opening a seemingly small hanger port in
the side near the waterline, launched a tender boat for shore-going. I say
small, but the tender was at least 25 feet long and the hanger could hold my
4-bedroom house in it. A veritable flock of French jets in 2-level
wingtip-wingtip formation just flew around the harbour about 300 feet up (at
maximum) leaving blue, white and red smoke trails. On the second pass you
could practically read the pilots names on their helmets. Most amazing.
Alas, hardship threatens as I seem to be temporarily out of champagne and my
wife is loose somewhere in the town with a credit card. :^)
Cheers,
Mark
