Old family rides

Rummaging through the family archives threw up some motoring relating relics:

My father proving I’m not the only poseur in the family! He’s the skinny looking Lt on the bonnet.

Lockheed constellation

Not a car but a Lockheed Constellation – the first plane I ever flew in – aged 6 months! Apparantly there was a special cot attached to the bulkhead in the first class compartment – I bet I didn’t get any bubbly.
