Nice stones...

In ancient times...

Hundreds of years before the dawn of history

Lived a strange race of people... the Druids

No one knows who they were or what they were doing

But their legacy remains

Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge

Well OK first thing they tell you is that Stonehenge was not built by the Druids...they spent quite a lot of time making sure you understood that...must be a sensitive subject for someone...

So here is what Stonehenge looks like on a windy wet day...not much different than on sunny day except maybe for the clouds. However the high winds and rain made it just a bit uncomfortable to be there. One cool fact for all the flight test types out there is that the UK test pilot school, ETPS, is located just down the road at MOD Boscombe Down in Wiltshire. I actually know a guy that went to ETPS...he currently is a JSF test pilot for Lockheed Martin.

Here is some more proof that I'm actually out visiting the sights and not holed up in pub somewhere. This is old Sarum. It's where Salisbury started out back in 1100 or so. They moved it a couple of hundred years later after they figured out there wasn't enough water. It was a bit drier than Stonehenge but it's still blowing pretty hard. Met a young Australian student while walking around and we swapped taking each others picture here.
