Always loved the early Buick Riviera design. This one was on display at the Blacktop Nationals event in Wichita quite a few years ago. The owner was nowhere to be found or I would have had him close the hood so I could get a clean shot of the nose and its fabulous paint job. The Riviera cost $4385 in 1964, which would be the equivalent of $42,118 today. I've seen several for sale on the Hemmings website for around $29,000 to $49,000 recently.
The Red Arrows
The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the display team of the Royal Air Force based at RAF Scampton. The team was formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing several unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.
The Red Arrows have a prominent place in British popular culture, with their aerobatic displays a fixture of British summer events. The badge of the Red Arrows shows the aircraft in their trademark diamond nine formation, with the motto Éclat, a French word meaning "brilliance" or "excellence".
Initially, they were equipped with seven Folland Gnat trainers inherited from the RAF Yellowjacks display team. This aircraft was chosen because it was less expensive to operate than front-line fighters. In their first season, they flew at 65 shows across Europe. In 1966, the team was increased to nine members, enabling them to develop their Diamond Nine formation. In late 1979, they switched to the BAE Hawk trainer. The Red Arrows have performed over 4,800 displays in 57 countries worldwide.
According to an RAF press release, the Arrows will fly in a "seven-aircraft formation, rather than nine" this year because two members of the crew have moved to other positions in the air force.
The seven-aircraft display is not unheard of and is used "when a situation dictates, such as illness or aircraft availability".
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
Immer Mittwochs und Sonntags fährt Medway einen Zementzug von Gaia-Devesas nach Godim und zurück. Eine der Stammloks des Zuges ist die Lok 1964, die letzte betriebsfähig erhaltene Maschine der portugiesischen Baureihe 1960.
Mit Mercadorias 50232 Godim - Gaia-Devesas ist die 1979 in Kanada gebaute Lok kurz hinter ihrem Startbahnhof unterwegs und beschleunigt mit beachtlichem Sound zu ihrer Fahrt entlang des Douro an die Atlantikküste.
