    Clouds Hill, Bovington

    I went down there last week on a UK tour, on me tod

    Did 100mph past the spot on Clouds Hill where Lawrence of Arabia crashed his Brough Superior and was killed.

    I think he would have appreciated that!

    Went and had a look around last year - and stopped to take a couple of pics at the memorial stone





    The memorial stone reads:

    "Near this spot Lawrence of Arabia crashed on his motorcycle and was fatally injured 13th May 1935"

    Definitely watch out for the tanks - they don't exactly creep up on you, but boy can they shift.............

    Yep................I've driven one of those (the transporter-with tank on it, not the tank). I wanted to drive the tank
