I saw an artical in the railnews a couple of years ago Skim where a 115 ton loco was flown from Canada to Ireland onboard an Antonov
Click to expand...
he was unscheduled arrival ay london ont air show picked up locomotive that was destined for ireland he arrived empty and did about 6 passes so big he'd probanly show as 2 targets on radar
 
Had a feeling it was a Martin model... probably the lads handling that bird cage are also working on a Martin... now it could be that this tv doc was about US bomber development (when aren't they, yawn) and so 30s machines were included. Or it could be a mistake on their part... you fairly often see mistakes like this... like FW190s being shot down in the 'BoB'.
 
A mixed bag for a change.... more Martins... big bombs... the Bucc... another Buff.

More TV snaps for your amusement.
C17 with blowback.... and white tornado.
Missing front from B17. How did that feel to fly?
Canberra - a mirage, one of the effects you can get when snapping off the TV card. Same plane not a formation display. Did see a Canberra team once. It was at RAF Wyton - called the Green Marrows! Ho Ho!

I had the Dinky toy version of Bonds DB5 Roy but I fired the little china man out of the roof so many times the spring went weak and all he would do in the end was pop his head out of the sun roof like a demented oriental tank commander.
 
One of my aspirations as a kid was to have one of these 007 cars. My friend Derek got one and he suddenly became the most popular kid in school.

But you were being really smart if you kept it in the box. Then you could live off the proceeds by selling it on EBay! Had a quick look and funnily enough there is one for sale for under a tenner (so far) just like yours! No passenger! Apparently Corgi have just re-released a gold DB5 too.
 
The theme today is P47s in combat. And a Spitfire... MH434, lovely.
