Photo session

I recently upgraded to a Merlin member of Bicester Heritage Scramblers. Here are a few images from a photo shoot they arranged there this year.

For those of us stateside, what is Bicester Heritage Scrambler?  What is a Merlin member? 

Whatever your answers, the photographs are spectacular.  The clean crisp lines and jewel tones of the car contrast dramatically with the industrial background. And those with the clouds are stunning.  Every one of those photos is “suitable for framing!”

Bicester Heritage is the former RAF 2nd World War bomber command air field near Oxford that was bought by an entrepreneur and turned into a hub for historical motoring excellence.

Since 2013 all the buildings have been sympathetically restored and currently there are 45 specialist automotive businesses working there.

A " Scramble", as they are referred to, is a meeting of motoring enthusiasts, harping back to the days when the pilots and crew where scrambled to fly on a mission.

Merlin is a level of membership.
