This excellent event was at Wroughton Airfield, about three miles South of Swindon (around 45 mins from Oxford).
The whole event was created by Greg & Jo Dunningham.
They expended a huge effort in doing this and very much deserved our support.
Wroughton is the home of the largest facility of the National Collections of the Science Museum (18 000 objects). Museum exhibits range from the Lockheed Constellation airliner to MRI scanners.
More information at: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/wroughton/.
Beside the museum the event had a huge collection of displays and stalls. As well as car sales and autojumble, there were lots of competitions from "Concours" to "Best Theme" - see the web site.
New this Year:
• Two day event with 3000 cars and 20 000 visitors
• More science museum staff to talk about the exhibits
• Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge (Saturday)
• Silent Grand Prix for British Heart Foundation (Sunday)
• Classic vehicle auction
• Live entertainment for exhibitors on Saturday evening
• Craft village
