14 Cars in a Nissen Hut

Couldn't believe how many cars Max can get in my Nissen Hut!!!! Cheeky monkey!!!


A Taste Of Finish.



So finally got round to sealing off the end wall, matching the dark brown/green creosote finish of the side window cheeks.

 Had some wonderful weather this weekend, here in Norfolk.
 New interior wall finished in 12mm ply wood. Just hung up Garys old 1976 front clip with the Heathrow airport sign.
