If, during the interwar years, Rolls-Royce could justifiably claim to be “the best car in the world”, the marque’s finest model of the era is without doubt the Phantom II Continental. Powered by a 7,668 cc straight-six, these magnificent leviathans represent the ultimate development of the 40/50 family. They were aimed at a more sporting clientele than the standard Phantom II.
The car offered, chassis number 8JS, is one of the earliest of the type, having been completed in mid-1931. Equipped with an extremely attractive four-door saloon body by Cricklewood-based Thrupp & Maberly, it was originally intended for display at that year’s Paris Salon. A change of plan, however, meant that the car made its debut at the Olympia Motor Show in London from 15 to 24 October. Finished in pale yellow with pea-green detailing and a matching green interior, the Continental was priced at £3,000, making it the most expensive car at that year’s London exhibition. It is thought that this was one of the first Rolls-Royce to feature a black radiator badge, moving away from the earlier typical red, due to the colours clashing with the coachwork.
Registered UG 8, the Phantom was sold to its first owner, JW Hemmingway of Leeds, in November 1931. After changing hands in 1945, and then three more times during the early 1950s, 8JS passed in 1955 to Air Commodore Allen Wheeler, who retained it for 22 years. During Wheeler’s custodianship, the Continental was first repainted dark green and later battleship grey, the latter famously being Sir Henry Royce’s favourite colour. In 1977, the car went to Denmark, where its new owner, Poul Sachmann, embarked on a painstaking body-off restoration to the original Olympia Motor Show specification. It is said that restorers found layers of the earlier paint under the grey, so returned the car’s colour to its correct shade. The Rolls-Royce wasn’t sold again until 1995, when it was acquired by the consigning owner—meaning that it has enjoyed a mere three owners in the past 67 years.
Pictured and described in André Blaize’s reference work, Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental (pages 154 to 159), 8JS is a fine specimen of this extremely desirable model.
When police released Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor last night, Reuters photographer Phil Noble was waiting for him with his camera. He produced a very lucky snapshot, now famous around the world. My re-enactment of the scene tries to capture the moment Andrew recognises that the truth is going to come out and his reaction is shame, not a feeling of guilt. These two emotions are very different: guilt is questioning your make-up as a human being, shame is concerned with protecting your reputation. We will find out later whether or not Andrew is progressing to the stage of guilt feelings. For now, he is concerned with shame. Fuji X-Pro3, Fujinon XF 1.2/56 at F4.

The Algerian Desert is a located in north-central Africa and is part of the Sahara Desert. The desert occupies more than four-fifths of the Algerian territory. Its expansion starts from the Saharan Atlas, more or less as a stony desert and the farther inland you get the more of a sand dune desert it becomes. In the southwestern parts is the mountain range Tassili n'Ajjer located.

An image of Jupiter acquired during the evening of the 13 February, when half-decent conditions (at last!) allowed me to image the giant planet. The planet resides in Gemini at present.
This image was captured earlier on in the session, at 19.47UT. It is the result of RGB filter runs using a mono camera. A detailed IR pass filter image was added for luminance.
Again lots of detail visible, including some with the GRS itself, which is transiting across in this image. A smaller red spot is visible to the upper left in the North Temperate Region.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a mono ZWO 290 camera. I used Baader RGB and IR Pass filters with a x2 Focal Extender in the train.
