corrugated house

I like corrugated buildings for a reason that I’ve never worked out.

 

There are plenty about - especially on farm land and some industrial sites but I like those with a set purpose, hence me seeking out some of the remaining ‘Tin Tabernacles’. Yesterday we went to a corrugated bungalow which for many decades was someone’s residence, now a museum. What a cute little place it is. Earlier in the day we had visited a former wartime air base and the place was chock full of corrugated buildings including a couple of Nissen Huts that it was possible to go inside. An added bonus at the airbase was a gathering of motorcycles of all ages - some ‘two stroke bikes’ I had never even heard of. I spoke to the organisers and the initial estimate was between 400 and 700 bikes in attendance. An ‘added, added bonus’ was that they taxyed (no, I didn’t know it had a Y in, either) their Lancaster bomber and Mosquito aircraft up close, which was a real sight to behold. What a sound, too.

 

Amazingly later on whilst we were in the garden of the corrugated house there was a fly past of a Lancaster, a Spitfire and a Hurricane as a practice for next weeks Coronation of King Charles.

 

There were another couple of other great aspects to what, overall, was a really fantastic day out.
