Hayao Miyazaki's "Daydream Data Notes" collects Miyazaki's sporadic manga contributions to various hobby magazines during the 1980s & early 90's.
The series has been bundled in a book, published by Dai Nippon Kaiga. This edition contains Hikotei Jidai.
"Hikotei Jidai" (飛行艇時代, literally, "The Age of the Flying Boat") is a 15-page, all-watercolor manga, on which the animated film "Porco Rosso" is based. It was published in "Model Graphix" in three parts, a monthly magazine about scale models, as a part of Hayao Miyazaki's "Zassou Note" series.
"Porco Rosso," known in Japan as "Crimson Pig" (紅の豚, Kurenai no Buta) is the 6th anime film by Miyazaki, produced by Studio Ghibli and released in 1992,

All these (and more) need new homes as I'm going to a different country for an extended stay soon so send me a Flickr Mail message (access through the arrow that appears near my profile photo when mousing over it, or click on the little tan envelope that appears on my profile page) if interested.
This garage was a Google Maps find a few years ago but one of several I never made a note of and spent a good year or so trying to search for It's location, even asking on Flickr as I thought I'd seen a photo of it.
Although I was convinced it was either Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire based this didn't really give much to go on but once I had located the site I was devastated to see a new business was trading from here and although the site looked pretty much the same it was no longer a petrol station and the pump had gone and the old forecourt had been relaid.
Previously this was Central Garage which was an unbranded site although a UK branded floor sign indicated petrol and diesel was on sale with just a single twin hosed Gilbarco Highline serving petrol and diesel by attended service and cash sales only.
Central garage was still trading in the 2019 google street view but believe Pro Graphix Group Ltd took on the site around three years ago.
The latest street view (2019) is the last image of Central garage with it's UK floor sign

The Roosevelt, that once was the Fairmont, that's now the Roosevelt!
WIKI: ROOSEVELT HOTEL
In 1834, the site was known as University Place and in this year the Medical University of Louisiana was founded. In 1847, Medical University of Louisiana was renamed to University of Louisiana. Later, in 1884, the school was renamed to its current name Tulane University. The hotel was built by Louis Grunewald, a German immigrant, and opened in 1893 as "The Grunewald". In 1908, a major 400 room expansion was added which is shown as the main portion in the postcard. This expansion was designed by the Milwaukee architectural firm, H. C. Koch & Sons. After various expansions it was purchased by a group of New Orleans investors and renamed "The Roosevelt Hotel" (in honor of late former president Theodore Roosevelt) in 1923. The long-time manager in this era was Seymour Weiss who was a confidant of U.S Senator and Louisiana Governor Huey Long who had a twelfth-floor suite. During the 1930s, Long used a suite at the Roosevelt as his headquarters. The Roosevelt was acquired by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts in 1965. Although officially renamed "The Fairmont", many locals continued referring to it as "The Roosevelt" even decades later.
When it was the Grunewald Hotel it hosted "The Cave", considered by some the first nightclub in the United States. It featured waterfalls, stalactites, and chorus girls dancing to Dixieland jazz. As the Roosevelt, a new night club, "The Blue Room", was opened and was long a well known venue of nationally touring musical acts.
The Fairmont was known for the Sazerac Bar and the Sazerac Room for the finest dining. Another restaurant in the Fairmont, "Bailey's", was for decades known as one of the few places open all odd hours of the night and early morning serving food significantly better than cheap diners or bar food. The main lobby area was elaborately decorated each Christmas season, and many locals made visiting the Christmas display at "the Roosevelt" part of their yearly holiday tradition.
The Fairmont New Orleans was damaged in Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and closed indefinitely. While some repair work was done, work was suspended in an incomplete state in March 2007 after preliminary estimates of the damage were revealed to have been greatly underestimated. [1].
On August 24, 2007, Dimension Development Company of Natchitoches, Louisiana, announced the purchase of the Fairmont Hotel for 17 million dollars from the owners, Roosevelt Ventures, LLC. Also announced was the plan to spend 100 million dollars to convert the hotel to one of Hilton's premium hotels in their Waldorf Astoria Collection chain.
The return to the hotel's historic name and a planned re-opening date of spring 2009 were announced on June 5, 2008.[2]
