Left Caerphilly to head to Cornwall (in our hire car a hyundai hybrid, very nice to drive and economical)
Stopping off at the Fleet Air Arm Museum  in Yeovilton to find the bell from HMS Illustrious which has my name engraved on the inside. It is a Navel tradition that if a crew member has one of their children Christened on board a the ship their name is engraved on the bell

Lots to see there if you are into Naval Aircraft History
