A milk float is a battery electric vehicle (BEV), specifically designed for the delivery of fresh milk. They were once common in many European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, and were operated by local dairies. However, in recent years, as the number of supermarkets, small independent grocers and petrol stations stocking fresh milk has increased, most people have switched from regular home delivery to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour (16 to 26 km/h) although some have been modified to do up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries; milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night.

I attended a workshop with Miss Aniela yesterday. Was a great chance to learn some tips and tricks from a truly inspirational photographer. I only managed to get a few shots on the day and plan to work on some others when I have time. Not to mention trying the technique with my sons!
I thought this particular shot came out quite well!
PS. Although not actually in this image, I've got to credit Miss Aniela for the setup! A great day for sure! Thanks so much!
The floats in the foreground have suspended ropes for growing mussels. Mussel farming is an important industry in Killary Fjord, County Galway, Ireland. I might add that the product is delicious! Connemara Mountains in the background.

Manufacturing fishing floats at the Elswick Works, Newcastle upon Tyne, c1931 (TWAM ref. 1027/9). This image reflects the sheer variety of products manufactured by Vickers Armstrong.
‘Workshop of the World’ is a phrase often used to describe Britain’s manufacturing dominance during the Nineteenth Century. It’s also a very apt description for the Elswick Works and Scotswood Works of Vickers Armstrong and its predecessor companies. These great factories, situated in Newcastle along the banks of the River Tyne, employed hundreds of thousands of men and women and built a huge variety of products for customers around the globe.
The Elswick Works was established by William George Armstrong (later Lord Armstrong) in 1847 to manufacture hydraulic cranes. From these relatively humble beginnings the company diversified into many fields including shipbuilding, armaments and locomotives. By 1953 the Elswick Works covered 70 acres and extended over a mile along the River Tyne. This set of images, mostly taken from our Vickers Armstrong collection, includes fascinating views of the factories at Elswick and Scotswood, the products they produced and the people that worked there. By preserving these archives we can ensure that their legacy lives on.

On Facebook there was a small competition to build something related to Carnaval. While I'm from a part of the Netherlands where we don't celebrate Carnaval, I did find it a fun challenge. The only restriction was 16x16 studs.
I just read TinTin: Destination Moon and thought it would be cool to design a small rocket.
