Random Picture Thread Vers.4

Is that in Spain?

When I was in Barcelona there were lots of "I " t-shirts. Didn't seem to matter whether some were in questionable taste and displayed in full view.

This photo provided by the Bavarian Zugspitzbahn shows a gondola of the Wankbahn with the logo "I love Wank" in a cable car station. The International Ski Federation (FIS) spoke out against the use of the slogan before the World Cup in Garmisch. Photo: picture alliance/dpa/Bayerische Zugspitzbahn

 

Bombardiers position at the front. Apparently only 2 made before the end of the war

 

Anyone else have one?

 

Me Andy

 

I’ve made loads of those in my childhood, to me, that was my “PlayStation “ !

 

I wonder how many survived the war

 

I very much doubt the rider in the top pic saved that!

 

Agree, the front end looks overwhelmed

 

Plus the fairing has touched down and the rider is above the centre of moment (I think that’s the correct term). What I mean is that he’s kind of pushing the bike out from underneath him rather than getting under it and picking it back up.

Listen to me, talking like I could have saved it

 

Pilots of 249 Squadron at North Weald, late 1940.
Richard Wynn, Tom Neil, Robert Barton, Patrick Wells, James Crossey, Jack Mills, Albert Lewis, George Barclay, George Palliser, S "Woolly" Woolmer and Anthony Thompson.
A surprising number did survive.

 

It could just be the photo recorded the exact moment when the bike was at it's limit during what was a successful at the limit cornering manoeuvre and the rider did the same on every lap...

He was probably ducking to get under the metal hinge bolt sticking out of the wall....

A combined Diesel/Steam engine
And I thought I had seen every combination going

 

Most unusual. I didn't know something like that even existed.

 

Submarines are powered by a nuclear/steam hybrid engine. It’d be really cool if they retrofitted old locos with a small reactor in place of the firebox.
