According to somewhere else(can't remember where I saw it),it returned 2 Aston Martins to the UK.

Would make sense as Aston Martin used to be based in Newport Pagnell, which is 15 minutes up the road.

Cranfield is where I fly from and I really wanted to get over there to see that, unfortunately I had to go to the gym!
Very very nice photo! I heard it only dropped off one aston martin. I believe we had a saudi C130 do the same thing 2yrs ago.

There was another one in a couple of years ago which allegedly returned a smashed up Aston for repair.

Yeah, I also looked up the photo from 2yrs ago and stand corrected, it wasnt saudi but was a moroccan airforce one again.

Alright fellors. Just at work reading the paper. It was the king Of morocco. He flew an Aston martin to the uk to get it fixed. Fair play haha.

I'm surprised it made the newspaper. Well, it is the sun I suppose. If he wants to bring his car to the UK to be fixed so beit. Made a nice change from the usual private jets etc we normally get at Cranfield.
