This 28 cylinder radial engine is on display at the Kalamazoo Air museum in Michigan. What an amazing show of power. I wonder what that thing weighs.

The three main engines of the Space Shuttle orbiter Discovery (OV-103). National Air and Space Museum, Udvar-Hazy Center. Virginia
Developed in the 1970s by the Marshall Space Flight Center, the space shuttle main engine was the world's most sophisticated reusable rocket engine. After the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned, the main engines provided thrust which accelerated the shuttle from 3,000 mph to more than 17,000 mph in order to reach low earth orbit. The engines operated for 8 minutes and 40 seconds for each shuttle flight, with a combined output of 37 million horsepower, and a combined maximum thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.
One of the final photo run-by's on the California Western's photographers special was at Glen Blair Jct, located a few miles east of Fort Bragg. CWR 45 is bathed in brilliant sunlight as it passes the old junction for the Glen Blair Lumber Company's rail line.

Last Friday an old colleague, he was my manager some time ago, invited me to go and see him fly so that I could take some picalillies of the event.
What you see is a deltawing and attached to is a Mosquito. The deltawing is from Italy and the Mosquito is from Sweden if I remember correctly. The Mosquito is a sleepingbag with an engine attached to it.
To take off, he starts running and simultaneously revvs the shit of that little engine. The wing does its thing and it lifts up and he's air airborne. Then he has to get his legs into the sleepingbag and zip up and retract the landing gear (two legs at the end). As far as he knows, he is the only one in the country who has one of these.
It's super cool. A man can fly, by himself!
The engine of the same truck that I have shown recently. See in Comments for reference.

68028 "Lord President" working light engine from Leeds Balm Road to Tyne Yard passes the Albert Hill area of Darlington on the morning of March the 16th 2021. But does anyone know the reason for the working ?
Thanks to Simon Jowett for the Gen on this one.
We're digging back into the archives almost ten years. It's the afternoon before we're to begin what would be an epic 10-day trip along the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern that would take us through six states.
And what better way to prime us for the long trip than to have a taste of blue and yellow on Chicago's south side? We're in Bedford Park watching the eastbound IC&E manifest freight rounding the sweeping curve at 65th and Harlem just before entering the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard.
In just under 12 hours, we'd leave Chicago's urban scene behind us as we headed through the cornfields in our trek toward the badlands of South Dakota.
Visitors for the Spring Gala 53808 and 8572 meet at Bridgnorth. This could have been a scene featuring two LNER locomotives in that companies' livery, however B1 1264 was pulled from the gala the week before and the 7F was brought in as a late replacement.
Robey & Co Ltd was founded in 1854, by Robert Robey, as manufacturers of portable steam engines and thrashing machines. By 1862 they had expanded greatly and exhibited a display of agricultural equipment; "fixed engines, traction engines, ploughing tackle, corn mills, saw benches etc" at the Great Exhibition. Soon they extended the range to include a complete range of mining equipment from winding engines and pumping engines to locomotives, cages and kibbles (mine bucket).

...near Blanchland in Northumberland, was built around 1805 to house a Cornish pumping engine that prevented the local network of lead mines from flooding. Towards the end of its industrial life in the 1840s, an enormous steam engine was installed in a final attempt to keep the mines dry enough to work.
Following decommissioning, the engine house was converted to a series of flats for mining families, but was finally abandoned around a hundred years ago and has been derelict ever since.
The engine house is a reminder of a once thriving lead mining community of a little under two hundred people, but the population declined after the mid-nineteenth century, when the imports of cheaper foreign lead began. Young families then emigrated from Shildon to the goldfields of Australia and America.
As I was shooting the Pan Am Railways OCS at Tower A, I got word that B721 was approaching CP-3 on the B&A, and would be coming at us shortly. After a quick shot on the Grand Junction, we see the train passing Boston Engine Terminal on the 4th Iron.
Happy to be able to walk through all parts of the model of the Orient Express Train used for the 2017 film Murder on the Orient Express.
Now part of the Bassenthwaite Lake Station café.
I took a drive out to Taylor, TX this morning in search of some trains to snap and low and behold, here we go. This is a shot of a Union Pacific engine that I found and I'm glad it was a gloomy day because I think that added to the drama of this shot.
This was taken with a Nikon D90, 5 bracketed photos from -2, -1, 0, +1 and +2 exposure value, tonemapped with details enhancer in Photomatix and tweaked with Nik Color Efex in Photoshop.
Read more about this shot and purchase prints on my blog.
Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!
