Nene Valley Harley Davidson Biker's Club at NuthampteadMay 31, 2009

by Malcolm 'Ozzie' Osborn

The weather was truly gorgeous, as we excitedly awaited the arrival of the Nene Valley Harley

Davidson owners club, with no fewer than 97 of these fabulous machines. They were on a rally,

this one was entitled The American Dream and was a tribute to all the young 8th AAF aircrews

who came overseas then dreamed of finishing their missions and going home again.! They had all

met at The Hells Angel at Molesworth, the base was once home to the 303rd Bomb Group, then

rode to the American Military Cemetery at Madingley, then on to Nuthampstead.!! I met them at

the golf club, then led them en-masse up to the tall flag pole on the airfield. I gave a quick five

minute shouted talk on the meaning of the flag pole, Robert Howard's flag, the airfields history

and where we were standing.! Then it was down to The Woodman for a Hog Roast beautifully

cooked by Julian Clark, followed by my giving a quick slide show to forty interested bikers.

Just ninety minutes after their arrival it was time to bid them all goodbye.

What a fantastic Sunday afternoon.

Following is an annotated photo journey of their visit to Nuthampstead.
