Here's a poser for you. If you could choose to own any one thing in the world, what would it be? And why?

You must choose something that you would love for aesthetic, cultural, historical or partcularly significant reasons. NOT something you could re-sell or make money from.

If you get really stuck deciding on just one thing - you can do a top three.

I would choose:

A moon rock brought back by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

One of Leonardo Da Vinci'sketch books of inventions.

I'll have a think about one more.

Id love to own either a piece of Concorde (maybe a seat of something) or a piece of steel from the World Trade Centre.

An old aerodrome.

I was at a rally school yesterday and it occured to me how fantastic it would be just to have an enormous part grass, part tarmac play area with a couple of big hangars to keep toys in and there are probably enough commercial opportunities for it to be self funding.
