The poor mans Rolls Royce. - a photo on Flickriver

The poor mans Rolls Royce.

            Our recent holiday to Sicily started the day earlier than the flight as I volunteered to run my in-laws down to Southampton for a cruise holiday they were taking. Ever being the one to explore I dropped on a museum now housed in the old RAF station at Tangmere. 

As well as there being a fine selection of former RAF aircraft on display the local Hawker Siddeley Motor Club were on site. For those unfamiliar with the marque, they were often described as the poor mans Rolls Royce. As can be seen they really were lovely cars. These two nearest the camera were a pair of Hawker Siddeley Star Sapphires from note late 1950's.   

In the background can also be seen a pair of Cold War jets, a Sea Vixen and a McDonald Douglas Phantom.
