23rd Magnette Day
New heat records in Germany with temperatures more than 40 degress Celsius. Luckily the location for this years Magnette Day was on the bank of Lake Constance. So not only the MG youngsters could take a refresher, also one or another crew went for a cooling-down swim after a long journey in the "well-tempered" MG.

Magnettes & Spies, Bletchley Park, 20th April 2019
