My hunting for classic cars FAIL at RAF Museum Cosford (not ft Mini Mk1, Trabant, VW Beetle, MGB +)

Various classic cars and other road vehicles - including Mk1 Mini, Trabant, and a military Morris Minor Traveller, are usually to be found at RAF Museum Cosford, dotted around on display in the hangars. I recently found myself over at the museum, so thought I'd hunt down the classic cars on display and do a quick video, mixed in with a brief overview of the many fascinating display aircraft to be found here.
Alas, as a mission, this hunting trip for classic cars was a fail as nearly all the old cars and lorries that are usually on display, have been cleared away from public view (presumably to enable the one-way system that's in operation). Still, it gave me a chance to have a walk around and present a quick overview of what IS available to view, before heading off to the museum shop in order to buy a few gifts.
I highly recommend visiting the museum, which is just off the M54 in Shropshire. I've been going there since the early 1980s (the museum was formed in the late '70s), and usually call over there at least once a year to see what's new and say hello to the exhibits - my favourites being the trio of V-Bombers, the Comet (out of bounds in this visit) and all the experimental types, including TSR2 XR220.
Museums have had a hard time of things over the last couple of years, especially those reliant on volunteers and those with significant financial overheads, so please give them all support this summer.
It's a shame that the cars and lorries weren't on display this time (bar a Bedford RL "Green Goddess" RLHZ Self Propelled Pump in AFS livery), but never mind. I dug out photos from previous visits of the classic Mini Mk1 and the VW Beetle, plus the Trabant, Minor Traveller and the ceremonial-spec Land Rover Series 1 and have included them in the video. An MGB GT was spotted driving around the museum site while I was there, and that's made it in here too.
