Biggleswade is a market town and civil parish located on the River Ivel in Bedfordshire, England. It is growing in population mainly because of good transport links along the A1 road between London and the North, and via Biggleswade railway station on the East Coast Main Line). New housing developments continue.
Biggleswade is located about 40 miles (60 km) north of Central London and 20 miles (30 km) to the west-south-west of Cambridge. Situated with a station on the East Coast Main Line, Biggleswade is around half-an-hour from the capital city by train. In 2011 the population of the town was about 16,550. The Biggleswade civil parish also includes the nearby hamlet of Holme, Bedfordshire.
The town lies just off the A1, Britain's Great North Road between London and Edinburgh - and the B1040, which leads to Potton in the north, runs through the town. Biggleswade is also situated on the A6001, which leads to Langford and Henlow to the south. At the north end of Biggleswade past Shortmead House lies a solar power farm, whilst a wind farm of ten turbines sits beyond the south end of the town, towards Langford.
The area around Biggleswade is thought to have been inhabited from around 10,000 BC, with arrowheads dating from this period believed to have been found in the region. In Roman times, a loop road known as the White Way passed through Biggleswade (possibly along the course of the present-day Drove Road), linking up with the Ermine Way at Godmanchester.
Biggleswade Swimming Club celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006. It now uses the new indoor Saxon Pool and Leisure Centre, which underwent expansion in 2015 to add a new sports hall to the back of the complex. There is also a small skatepark located behind the complex, next to the local park.
The town has two football clubs – Biggleswade Town, of the Southern League Premier Division, and Biggleswade United, of the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division. Biggleswade United has recently been given a boost in awareness by Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague's appointment as Director of Football.

Places to see in ( Sandy - UK )
Sandy is a small market town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England. It lies between Cambridge and Bedford, on the A1 road from London to Edinburgh. The area is dominated by a range of low hills known as the Sand Hills. The River Ivel runs through the town. The Anglican church is dedicated to St Swithun.
Sandy is probably best known today as the headquarters of the RSPB. The Society moved to the Lodge, on the outskirts of the town, in 1961. The Shuttleworth Collection is also nearby, around 2 miles (3 km) south west of Sandy. The Riddy is a flood meadow on the Ivel and a local nature reserve.
An archaeological dig in May 2006 revealed that the area may have been settled earlier than 250 BC. However Sandy was a Roman settlement and was probably an important trading centre and staging post in the Roman era. An ancient hill fort, now heavily wooded and traditionally known as Caesar's Camp although more commonly called the sand hills or the lookout, still overlooks the town.
Sandy is referred to in the Domesday Book, as Sandeia, a derivation from the Old English Sandieg, meaning a sand-island. In 1086 Sandy was listed in the Domesday Book as being held by Eudo Fitzhubert, who is likely to have been the tenant. He was probably also known as Eudo Dapifer, who was a high steward for William the Conqueror, and based in Colchester Castle.
In addition there were also two mills listed, and both of these would have been water-powered. There are still references to one of them in the road name Mill Lane which runs along the River Ivel. However the mill has since been replaced by housing. Further down the river from the site where the mill once stood is Sandye Place Academy where it is believed there was a Danish camp which was built to protect the Danelaw in 886. Evidence at the Riddy, a local nature reserve just south of Sandy, shows that mill-building has taken place on this site since at least the time of the Norman era, though the last mill was built here in 1857.
Sandy is situated on the A1 which hugs the western edge of the town. The A603 leads west towards Bedford; the B1042 leads east towards Potton and Cambridge. There are a number of bus routes, principally the 73 from Biggleswade to Bedford.
Sandy has a railway station which is on the East Coast Main Line. Services north to Peterborough and south to London King's Cross are provided by Thameslink and Great Northern. The Varsity Line, which connected Oxford to Cambridge, also ran through Sandy, stopping at Girtford Halt railway station, at the north end of the bypass. From Bedford to Sandy, the line is now part of the NCR 51 cycle route. This line is currently being considered for re-introduction as part of the East West rail link.

NSRA Super Nationals 2019 + When did we lose our sense of Style?
Another great weekend at the NSRA Supernationals at Old Warden, Biggleswade. As I walked around admiring all the shiny and not so shiny classic cars, hot rods and rat rods, I started to wonder what happened to the UK as a nation, where did our sense of style go? Back in the 50's and 60's you could tell one car from another by its rear lights or its body contours, even up to the late 60's this was still possible, then British Leyland came along and suddenly we had Montegos and Maestros thrust upon us, from there it went downhill rapidly.
Nowadays modifying your car consists of little more than bolting some wheels on, a loud exhaust and even louder sound system (presumably to drown out the exhaust) Wheres the engineering gone, the individuality, the thought?
It has to be said that some manufacturers have attempted to bring that style back, namely Ford (US) with the Mustang, Chrysler US and UK and also Fiat. Surely stylish can still be aerodynamic, no?

1/3 SCALE FLITZER Z21 RC BIPLANE - ZENOHA 26cc - KEN BONES AT OLD WARDEN SCALE DAY - 2016
NOW THERE IS A GREAT STORY BEHIND THIS MODEL THAT STARTED OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO, SO HERE IT IS IN THE WORDS OF KEN BONES THE BUILDER / PILOT OF THIS 1/3 SCALE MODEL OF THE FLITZER -
Hi Pete n Dean. Piccy (group picture of pilots with red flitzer models at end of video) is of a competition organised by Ken Sheppard when he was with Radio Modeller Magazine in 1997 I think. I was already building a Flitzer when the mag announced that there would be a competition for the model with the judge being Lynn Williams himself - the designer of the full size aircraft
Lynn who is also a talented artist was commissioned by the magazine to do an oil painting of the Flitzer which I was lucky enough to win !????
The full size aircraft first flew in 1995 and has been thought of many times as something from the 1920s or 30s. the real aircraft is a kit build airplane for the home builder (of full size aircraft) and mostly are powered by a VW flat four air cooled car engine.
My model is 1/3 scale with a Zenoha 26 cc motor. Weight is just under 7kg and uses Spectrum radio.
I have now decided to finally retire the model and have donated it to Lynn, it will hang up in his Flitzer Hanger in Wales.
I am now in the process of getting drawings sorted etc for a 1/2 scale model. Lynn has been helpful enough to supply me with a full set of drawings for the real thing.
With a span of only 108 it won't be that big really. So watch this space !
Lynns brother was Neil Williams. UK and world aerobatic champion (full size) in the 70s.
A GREAT STORY FROM KEN - LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE 1/2 SCALE BIRD FLYING KEN - PETE TED,
CHECK OUT THE SPECS ON THE REAL AIRCRAFT HERE -
AND HERE -
The Flitzer Z-21 or Staaken Flitzer is a British amateur-built aircraft, designed by Lynn Williams and produced by Flitzer Sportplanes of Aberdare, Wales. The aircraft is supplied as plans for amateur construction.
In the late 1990s it was also marketed as plans and in kit form by Bell Aeromarine of Leicester, UK.
The Z-21 is a single-seat, open cockpit 1920s-style biplane with fixed conventional landing gear with spoked wheels and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 5.5 m (18.0 ft) span wing has a combined area of 9 m2 (97 sq ft) and ailerons on the bottom wing only. The aircraft was designed for the 65 hp (48 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine, but other variants have been developed that use a variety of engines, including the 110 hp (82 kW) Rotec R2800 radial engine.
Further planned developments include a tandem two seater, a four aileron version and a lighter weight version.
In August 2014 there were eleven Flitzers registered in the United Kingdom.

Final display of the Avro Vulcan.
Shuttleworth, 4th October 2015.
Some good quality howls as the Vulcan bids farewell to the skies.
As Vulcan pilot Martin Withers put it:
Don't cry because it's gone, but smile because it happened.
Apologies for the slightly dodgy camerawork in places.
