1953 Daimler DE 36 O-scale model
This was the last year of the DE 36 model. "The DE 36 was the last Daimler Straight-Eight. Developed from the Thirty-Two V 4½, the DE 36's bore and stroke were, at 85.1 mm × 120.0 mm (3.35 in × 4.72 in), identical to those of the six-cylinder 27 hp (RAC) engine being used in the DE 27 limousine and DC 27 ambulance."

Viewed from the bridge over the river which has since been rebuilt and widened although the decorative arches were kept. See earlier posts and our books.
electric aeroplane
"The Pipistrel Alpha Electro is the first production electric aircraft in the world. Its electric motor directly drives the propeller – no fuel, no oil, no noise, and zero emissions."
Hopefully the limitations of the distance the battery will last are carefully heeded.
