They call it "flaming June" for a very good reason, it can be unpredictable to say the least. Either bringing out the sun or terms of despair. The day started grey with light drizzle and generally gloomy, which did not bode well for the reintroduction of the post Covid Pangbourne Classic Car Show. However the steady flow of classic cars was soon followed by a steady flow of people as the sun found the gaps in the clouds and it turned out nice again, as someone used to say.

On 31st October ThamesMog visited The Factory. The visit was organised by Steve Bridge and thoroughly enjoyed by the 26 that came. Here are a few unusual images...
