Out with a mate in the glorious weather we came across a new Food Van at Bockenfield lay-by on the A1 southbound about 20 miles north of Newcastle. Now this was something special with all food cooked fresh and a menu that could be taken away and food ordered before your arrival to save waiting - never seen the like before. Very nice lady running the place and extremely reasonable prices - tea 50p anyone! Well, after ordering two bacon and egg sandwich - which were well above the average roadside fayre and came in a white paper bag with a serviette we put the Zed's cup holders to use and had our breakfast at the end of Eshott airfield's runway.
We were very surprised to see this Eindecker WW1 replica take to the air and complete a circuit - amazing what we get to see when we're out and about. . .
Well worth a visit if you're passing - MerryMac vfm - even has it's own facebook page
End of the runway at Eshott - that's the senior instructor on the off-road motorcycle on the runway
Here comes the Eindecker replica having completed a circuit - pilot looked as if he was having fun and made an excellent landing
Yep amazing what you come across - always seems to be something new to see - quite a surprise!
