RAF Hendon
A Day of Wings, Engines & Questionable Aerodynamic Theories. Our latest ThamesMOG outing took us to the RAF Museum Hendon, where we traded four wheels for two wings and discovered that early aviators were even braver than anyone who has ever attempted to reverse park a Morgan at a National Trust property. The thought of the forecasted rain and heavy motorway traffic did not deter three ThamesMOGers from taking their pride and joys to RAF Hendon and to join with other Centre members for a full day in the museum. The exhibitions in six large covered display hangers cover the
Drive it day 2026

A Sunday Visit From the Chair
Weathering the Storm Despite the inclement autumn weather and frequent rain showers, spirits were anything but dampened at our Noggin on Sunday 19th October. With the forecast suggesting a low turnout, there was some concern as we were expecting a very special guest: Jann Robinson, Director and Chair of the MSSC, who had kindly agreed to join us and provide an update on the club’s direction and challenges. Flying the Flags Sally and I arrived early to raise the flags in the car park, setting the scene for the day. Not long after, Jann arrived and was welcomed into the
Ten Hills Tour of the Chiltern Hills
43.6 miles, nineteen Morgans (+ a Caterham, whose owner's Morgan was off the road), ten hills, and one objective – to enjoy the drive through the lovely flowing Chiltern countryside. Morgans filled The Red Lion car park at Britwell Salome, while their drivers and navigators enjoyed coffee and bacon butties inside, before setting off on our mystery tour. All we had been told by Richard Cartwright, our event organiser, was that we would be driving up five hills and down five hills which were all carefully chosen as they had an association with historic motor sports and an endurance rally,
Nuffield Place 2025
Fourteen of us, in six Morgans and a tin top, met at Nuffield Place on 20th August for guided tours of the house and an opportunity to explore the gardens. The house was home to William George Morris – later Lord Nuffield – for thirty years, until his death in 1963, when it was bequeathed with all its furniture and personal belongings to the Nuffield College. It was later transferred to the National Trust in 2012 and remains largely unchanged, retaining all its original features, fixtures, fittings, and personal belongings. We all enjoyed very informative tours led by highly
Shuttleworth Trust 2025
16 ThamesMOG Morgans (plus one interloper from CranMOG, and David’s Caterham) and 31 Morganeers enjoyed sunny weather and gentle breezes during their visit to the Shuttleworth Collection. As we arrived, we were greeted by a flying display from the Collection’s Spitfire — a fantastic way to start! It is called a Collection, not a museum, because all the exhibits—whether aircraft, cars, commercial vehicles, or motorbikes—are operational. We divided into two groups and took a detailed two-hour guided tour of the four aircraft hangars, during which we learned about the aircrafts' history and the backgrounds of early designers and pilots.
