Red Hackle Tour - 4 May
 Great
entry, super locations, terrific route, topped off with blue skies and
sunshine greeted starters of the club's first event of the
season. While still on the chilly side for early May crews with
soft and folding tops could keep them down for the entire day. With
visits to Glenturret distillery and Drummond Castle Gardens on
our route coupled with amazing views from our route, meant a great day
out for our classic crews. This favourite in the calendar started
and finished again at the Black Watch Museum Perth. Organisers
Ron & Jan Adam with George Shand and Duncan Massie put together a route that many of the crews thoroughly enjoyed.

 A
sun soaked day for this annual event, to which Rona and I joined to
assist with signing on and Concours d'Elegance judging. Offering the
option of a long, 100 mile route and shorter 'sortie' for the elderly
vehicles allowed time to see the exciting coutryside north of Glasgow.
See video of a selection of starters as they depart from the Nuffield
Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Milngavie Club, near Glasgow.
See Andy Thomlinson photos of the start at the Nuffield Gym & Fitness Centre, Milngavie.

Scotland
resounded to not only the RSAC Spring Run, but also the Flying Scotman
crossing the border travelling up the east side of our sun soaked
country at the same time.
Some 77 entrants, including regular Sue Shoosmith in her 1926 Bentley 3-4.5L with Trinas Harley on the route notes.
Photographer Andy Thomlinson was up early to catch them crossing the
border country on their way to overnight at Dalmahoy near Edinburgh on
Saturday 5th. Sunday would see the crews head through Fife and
Perthshire to finish at Gleneagles.
You can see more crews and some fine pre-war cars on Andy's Flickr feed

FBHVC National Historic Vehicle Survey
 Please
participate in this crucial National Historic Vehicle Survey run by the
Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) and keep transport
heritage on our roads
The survey
typically takes around 10-15 minutes to complete (for one vehicle), and
is best completed in 'one sitting'. You can come back to it at any
time, which is helpful if you have multiple vehicles.
Survey of individuals who own historic vehicles (more than 30 years old), click here:
https://survey.websurveycreator.com/s/fbhvcenthusiast
The Federation of
British Historic Vehicle Clubs will have to argue even more strongly
for historic vehicles to retain their current access and freedoms on
our roads in the coming years as we navigate the most challenging
period in our history.
