I assume that we all attempted to photograph the super Moon a few weeks ago, I decided to go to Sunshine Beach. I didn't take anything too peculiar apart from some cloudy shots with the Moon behind. I am not too sure about this image, not because of the way it looks, although because of what I have done to produce it. In the original shot, I overexposed the Moon just so the landscape was exposed. I then placed another, exposed one of my images of the Moon on top of the over exposed Moon, creating this. I'd like to hear feedback (:
“And so the noose closes tighter…late night, I moved with my forces to take Scarecrow’s latest “Fear Factory”—a manufacturing plant altered to produce fear gas. It had only been set up less than a week ago, but it looked as if it was build years ago. Scarecrow’s men operate fast—no doubt due to fearing the harsh replies of their master should they waste too much time.
Immediately after we busted in the building was engulfed in green smoke…most likely a defense put in by the good doctor…his men fled in...fear...but they were easily gunned down…well a few of them were, I think some of my men drank a bit too much last night—their aim was horrible. It didn’t matter though, the facility was a death trap, and immediately after it was cured of the plague that infected it, the building was burned to the ground—along with the fear of Scarecrow.”

The former J Pick & Sons Knitwear Factory which has been converted into up-market living accommodation on Wellinton Street, Leicester, Leicestershire.
John Pick, the founder of J Pick & Sons, was born in 1820 into a Barrow on Soar family of framework knitters. As a young man he foresaw the demise of the hand frame and went to Derby to learn the new 'factory' methods of production.
His business was established around 1856 in rented premises in Friday Street, Leicester, and by 1863 it was listed as a Fancy Scarf and Hosiery manufacturer. In 1868 he moved to his own factory in Paddock Street. After a very short time the firm was concentrated entirely on the production of knitwear. There was a later move to Wimbledon Street where the firm, by now J Pick & Sons, manufactured the cardigan that became popular during the Crimean war. Later they added polo neck sweaters, which were popular as sportswear at the turn of the century.
The firm prospered and from 1913 was based in an attractive purpose built factory in Dover Street. The years between the two World Wars were the most successful. The firm was dedicated to the production of knitwear bearing its own brand name, Pick. This was promoted through the UK wholesale trade to the thousands of independent stores then in business throughout the country and through agents in the British Empire and the Mediterranean area. This era was successful for the family who lived in the then fashionable St Peters Road and later in a large house in Knighton Rise. There was a Humber car and later a Daimler with a chauffer. J Pick & Sons reached a high-point in 1939, just before World War Two.
The war was a setback for the knitting industry with many workers leaving to join the forces or going into other occupations. After the war the firm did not repeat its former success. There continued to be a shortage of knitting yarn and workers and clothes rationing continued for some time. Under the fourth generation managing director, David Pick, the firm remained loyal to its own brand and the independent retailers. Significantly, it did not embrace an opportunity to deal with Marks & Spencer. Picks had always concentrated on menswear but in a break with tradition they also supplied British Home Stores with a range of boy's and women's knitwear. A venture in supplying cut price merchandise to Poland proved less profitable. However, Picks did achieve success as a supplier to Tesco, Littlewoods, and C&A and gained large contracts from the Ministry of Defence.
In the period between the wars the industry had benefited from a rise in the popularity of knitted products and a substantial degree of government support in the form of tariff protection. In contrast, this level of tariff support was not followed up after the Second World War much to the chagrin of David Pick who unsuccessfully lobbied the government for stronger protection for the industry.
In the early 1980s the firm, in common with many others, found business very tough. The demise of the small retailers and increasing low-cost imports affected the firm and there were major job losses in the industry at that time. From 1973 to 1983 the industry lost thirty three thousand workers. A short-lived increase in Ministry of Defence orders accompanied the Falklands War but ultimately Picks shared the fate of hundreds of other manufacturers and after a long hard struggle closed for business in 1991.

Boeing's B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of World War II and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Although designed to fight in the European theater, the B-29 found its niche on the other side of the globe. In the Pacific, B-29s delivered a variety of aerial weapons: conventional bombs, incendiary bombs, mines, and two nuclear weapons.
On August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-45-MO dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on both missions.

Boeing's B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated, propeller-driven, bomber to fly during World War II, and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Boeing installed very advanced armament, propulsion, and avionics systems into the Superfortress. During the war in the Pacific Theater, the B-29 delivered the first nuclear weapons used in combat. On August 6, 1945, Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., in command of the Superfortress Enola Gay, dropped a highly enriched uranium, explosion-type, "gun-fired," atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Major Charles W. Sweeney piloted the B-29 Bockscar and dropped a highly enriched plutonium, implosion-type atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. On August 14, 1945, the Japanese accepted Allied terms for unconditional surrender.
In the late 1930s, U. S. Army Air Corps leaders recognized the need for very long-range bombers that exceeded the performance of the B-17 Flying Fortress. Several years of preliminary studies paralleled a continuous fight against those who saw limited utility in developing such an expensive and unproven aircraft but the Air Corps issued a requirement for the new bomber in February 1940. It described an airplane that could carry a maximum bomb load of 909 kg (2,000 lb) at a speed of 644 kph (400 mph) a distance of at least 8,050 km (5,000 miles). Boeing, Consolidated, Douglas, and Lockheed responded with design proposals. The Army was impressed with the Boeing design and issued a contract for two flyable prototypes in September 1940. In April 1941, the Army issued another contract for 250 aircraft plus spare parts equivalent to another 25 bombers, eight months before Pearl Harbor and nearly a year-and-a-half before the first Superfortress would fly.
Among the design's innovations was a long, narrow, high-aspect ratio wing equipped with large Fowler-type flaps. This wing design allowed the B-29 to fly very fast at high altitudes but maintained comfortable handling characteristics during takeoff and landing. More revolutionary was the size and sophistication of the pressurized sections of the fuselage: the flight deck forward of the wing, the gunner's compartment aft of the wing, and the tail gunner's station. For the crew, flying at extreme altitudes became much more comfortable as pressure and temperature could be regulated. To protect the Superfortress, Boeing designed a remote-controlled, defensive weapons system. Engineers placed five gun turrets on the fuselage: a turret above and behind the cockpit that housed two .50 caliber machine guns (four guns in later versions), and another turret aft near the vertical tail equipped with two machine guns; plus two more turrets beneath the fuselage, each equipped with two .50 caliber guns. One of these turrets fired from behind the nose gear and the other hung further back near the tail. Another two .50 caliber machine guns and a 20-mm cannon (in early versions of the B-29) were fitted in the tail beneath the rudder. Gunners operated these turrets by remote control--a true innovation. They aimed the guns using computerized sights, and each gunner could take control of two or more turrets to concentrate firepower on a single target.
Boeing also equipped the B-29 with advanced radar equipment and avionics. Depending on the type of mission, a B-29 carried the AN/APQ-13 or AN/APQ-7 Eagle radar system to aid bombing and navigation. These systems were accurate enough to permit bombing through cloud layers that completely obscured the target. The B-29B was equipped with the AN/APG-15B airborne radar gun sighting system mounted in the tail, insuring accurate defense against enemy fighters attacking at night. B-29s also routinely carried as many as twenty different types of radios and navigation devices.
The first XB-29 took off at Boeing Field in Seattle on September 21, 1942. By the end of the year the second aircraft was ready for flight. Fourteen service-test YB-29s followed as production began to accelerate. Building this advanced bomber required massive logistics. Boeing built new B-29 plants at Renton, Washington, and Wichita, Kansas, while Bell built a new plant at Marietta, Georgia, and Martin built one in Omaha, Nebraska. Both Curtiss-Wright and the Dodge automobile company vastly expanded their manufacturing capacity to build the bomber's powerful and complex Curtiss-Wright R-3350 turbo supercharged engines. The program required thousands of sub-contractors but with extraordinary effort, it all came together, despite major teething problems. By April 1944, the first operational B-29s of the newly formed 20th Air Force began to touch down on dusty airfields in India. By May, 130 B-29s were operational. In June, 1944, less than two years after the initial flight of the XB-29, the U. S. Army Air Forces (AAF) flew its first B-29 combat mission against targets in Bangkok, Thailand. This mission (longest of the war to date) called for 100 B-29s but only 80 reached the target area. The AAF lost no aircraft to enemy action but bombing results were mediocre. The first bombing mission against the Japanese main islands since Lt. Col. "Jimmy" Doolittle's raid against Tokyo in April 1942, occurred on June 15, again with poor results. This was also the first mission launched from airbases in China.
With the fall of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam in the Mariana Islands chain in August 1944, the AAF acquired airbases that lay several hundred miles closer to mainland Japan. Late in 1944, the AAF moved the XXI Bomber Command, flying B-29s, to the Marianas and the unit began bombing Japan in December. However, they employed high-altitude, precision, bombing tactics that yielded poor results. The high altitude winds were so strong that bombing computers could not compensate and the weather was so poor that rarely was visual target acquisition possible at high altitudes. In March 1945, Major General Curtis E. LeMay ordered the group to abandon these tactics and strike instead at night, from low altitude, using incendiary bombs. These firebombing raids, carried out by hundreds of B-29s, devastated much of Japan's industrial and economic infrastructure. Yet Japan fought on. Late in 1944, AAF leaders selected the Martin assembly line to produce a squadron of B-29s codenamed SILVERPLATE. Martin modified these Superfortresses by removing all gun turrets except for the tail position, removing armor plate, installing Curtiss electric propellers, and modifying the bomb bay to accommodate either the "Fat Man" or "Little Boy" versions of the atomic bomb. The AAF assigned 15 Silverplate ships to the 509th Composite Group commanded by Colonel Paul Tibbets. As the Group Commander, Tibbets had no specific aircraft assigned to him as did the mission pilots. He was entitled to fly any aircraft at any time. He named the B-29 that he flew on 6 August Enola Gay after his mother. In the early morning hours, just prior to the August 6th mission, Tibbets had a young Army Air Forces maintenance man, Private Nelson Miller, paint the name just under the pilot's window.
Enola Gay is a model B-29-45-MO, serial number 44-86292. The AAF accepted this aircraft on June 14, 1945, from the Martin plant at Omaha (Located at what is today Offut AFB near Bellevue), Nebraska. After the war, Army Air Forces crews flew the airplane during the Operation Crossroads atomic test program in the Pacific, although it dropped no nuclear devices during these tests, and then delivered it to Davis-Monthan Army Airfield, Arizona, for storage. Later, the U. S. Air Force flew the bomber to Park Ridge, Illinois, then transferred it to the Smithsonian Institution on July 4, 1949. Although in Smithsonian custody, the aircraft remained stored at Pyote Air Force Base, Texas, between January 1952 and December 1953. The airplane's last flight ended on December 2 when the Enola Gay touched down at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. The bomber remained at Andrews in outdoor storage until August 1960. By then, concerned about the bomber deteriorating outdoors, the Smithsonian sent collections staff to disassemble the Superfortress and move it indoors to the Paul E. Garber Facility in Suitland, Maryland.
The staff at Garber began working to preserve and restore Enola Gay in December 1984. This was the largest restoration project ever undertaken at the National Air and Space Museum and the specialists anticipated the work would require from seven to nine years to complete. The project actually lasted nearly two decades and, when completed, had taken approximately 300,000 work-hours to complete. The B-29 is now displayed at the National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.

Baltimore is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, as well as the 30th most populous city in the United States, with a population of 593,490 in 2019 and also the largest independent city in the country. Baltimore was established by the Constitution of Maryland as an independent city in 1851. As of 2017, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area was estimated to be just under 2.802 million, making it the 21st largest metropolitan area in the country. Baltimore is located about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Washington, D.C., making it a principal city in the Washington-Baltimore combined statistical area (CSA), the fourth-largest CSA in the nation, with a calculated 2018 population of 9,797,063.
The city's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States. In addition, Baltimore was a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, heavy industry, and restructuring of the rail industry, Baltimore has shifted to a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital (founded 1889) and Johns Hopkins University (founded 1876) are the city's top two employers.
With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a "city of neighborhoods." Famous residents have included writers Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Hamilton, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ogden Nash, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dashiell Hammett, Upton Sinclair, Tom Clancy, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and H. L. Mencken; musicians James "Eubie" Blake, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, Tori Amos, Frank Zappa, Tupac Shakur, Dan Deacon, Robbie Basho, Bill Frisell, Philip Glass, Cass Elliot, and Ric Ocasek ; actors and filmmakers John Waters, Barry Levinson, Divine, David Hasselhoff, Don Messick, John Kassir, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Mo'Nique; artist Jeff Koons; baseball player Babe Ruth; swimmer Michael Phelps; radio host Ira Glass; television host Mike Rowe; Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall; Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi; and United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson. During the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" in Baltimore after the bombardment of Fort McHenry. His poem was set to music and popularized as a song; in 1931 it was designated as the American national anthem.
Baltimore has more public statues and monuments per capita than any other city in the country, and is home to some of the earliest National Register Historic Districts in the nation, including Fell's Point, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon. These were added to the National Register between 1969 and 1971, soon after historic preservation legislation was passed. Nearly one third of the city's buildings (over 65,000) are designated as historic in the National Register, which is more than any other U.S. city.

The Guinness Open Gate Brewery is on the site of the historic Calvert distillery in Baltimore County, 10 miles from downtown Baltimore and 30 miles northeast of Washington DC.
The distillery, originally called the Maryland Distilling Company, was the first opened after prohibition in Maryland, in 1933. For decades it distilled, barrel-aged and bottled several spirits brands, notably the Lord Calvert Whisky brand. In 2001 the site was acquired by Diageo as part of the purchase of Seagram, and spirits aging and bottling continued at scale until 2015 (and actually continues to this day as a live production site).
The site itself is almost 62 acres in size and is adjacent to Route 1, is minutes from the I-95, I-195 and I-895 freeways, and is 4 miles from BWI International Airport. It has a long history, integral to the local area, just off the Civil War trail and even has a protected pre-Civil War graveyard on its grounds.
Geographically, the site is fantastically situated, with several large cities within a 300 mile radius of the brewery and excellent transport links, by air, rail, sea and road. It's also a large brownfield site with wonderful history and heritage and enormous potential to be redeveloped.
But also, we love the area. Baltimore is an amazing city with respect for the past combined a sense of dynamism and excitement for the future. The brewing industry in Maryland is growing fast with several notable breweries making a name for themselves locally and nationally. We hope we can help the industry prosper and achieve the recognition we think it deserves. We also believe there is huge potential for increased tourism in the area. We look forward to working in concert with local partners to bring about a significant impact from increased visitors who will be able not just to experience what we hope is a best-in-class brewery visit, but everything else Maryland has to offer.

In June 1924, at a meeting of key Leica managers, Ernst Leitz took the decision to manufacture 'Barnack's Camera'. So started the long line of Leica cameras. The latest rangefinders are the M11s and now I've succumbed and bought one. The camera I've photographed with it is the last of the screw thread Leicas, the IIIG introduced in 1958. The town scene is of course Chesterfield. I haven't really used the camera in anger but I'm pleased with the results, the versatility, the ergonomics and quality of the camera.

The Panther 6 was a convertible manufactured by the British sports car and luxury car manufacturer Panther Westwinds. However, the marque was short-lived — founded in 1972, it had collapsed by 1980.
On that note, the Panther 6 was also designed by Robert Jenkel. With only two units produced from 1977 to 1978, the Panther 6 was an extremely exclusive vehicle.
The Cadillac conventional twin-turbo V8 engine with a displacement of 8,195cc powers the Panther 6. It had a maximum power of 447 kW at 5,500 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum torque of 468 lb-ft at 2,000 rpm. The engine also featured a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and a bore and spoke of 4.3 x 4.3.
That said, the Panther 6 can reach speeds of up to 322 km/h. It has an acceleration time of 4.8 seconds from 0 km/h to 100km/h. The Panther 6 also features a three-speed automatic transmission and a mid-engine rear-drive layout, with a fuel tank capacity of 136.4 liters.
The Panther 6 has a length of 4,877 mm, a width of 2,032 mm, and a height of 1,219 mm. At the same time, it also has a wheelbase of 2,667 mm and a curb weight of 1,302 kg. The two pairs of wheels at the front are Pirelli 205/40VR13 tyres. Meanwhile, the pair of wheels at the rear are Pirelli 265/50VR16 tyres.
The Panther 6 also allowed for a hard top that was easily detachable or a convertible soft top. Robert Jenkel designed this with the climate of the Middle East taken into account, allowing both people in the car to remain cool despite the hot weather. As such, this made the model's design extravagant, which stunned visitors of the 1977 London Motorshow, at the unveiling of the Panther 6.

The lens manufacturing year / serial no. data, model features / typology are as to:
For Nikon F cameras the lenses 50mm f2 Auto S Nikkor and later 50mm f1.4 Auto Nikkor-S was standart.
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
Nikon brought semi-automatic aperture indexing (SAI) from the Nikkormat FTN into the professional F with the FTN finder.
The F is the first member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began 1959 and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F2,F3,F4,F5 and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.
Manufactured from 1964 to 1965 by Bilora in Germany for Zeiss Ikon A.G. An inexpensive square-looking 126 Cartridge point and shoot camera, model number 10.0553. It has a Frontar zone focus lens and no exposure control except for setting for “daylight” (1/60 sec) or “flash” (1/30 sec). It is identical to the Ikomatic F except that the CF uses a flash cube instead of a bulb flash.
Nice to see a boxy Panda, even more a high spec one like this Sisley example. I think this was one of the highest specs available and they originally planned 500 of them, but I think more were built in the end. Retains many of its original features- I'm not quite sure why the number plate has migrated to the top of the bonnet, and why it's a sticker rather than a bit of plastic, but oh well!

The Audi e-tron GT is a battery electric executive car produced by Audi since late 2020 as part of the e-tron battery electric sub-brand, and the third fully electric car model, after Q8 e-tron and Q8 e-tron Sportback SUVs. It is also Audi's first full-sized electric sedan, and the RS e-tron GT, put on the market in 2021 is, in terms of 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) times, the fastest Audi sedan to date.[3] Based on the J1 platform shared with the Porsche Taycan, the car went on sale in March 2024.[4]
Overview
e-tron GT concept (2018)
The Audi e-tron GT concept prototype was unveiled in November 2018 at the Los Angeles Auto Show,[5][6] followed in 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show.
e-tron GT quattro
In November 2020, Audi released photographs of what was basically the production model, in a characteristic black and gray veneer with orange accents and overlays on the alloy wheels.[8] The production Audi e-tron GT extensively recreated the design of the concept car, with muscular wheel arches, aggressively styled headlights, and a large hexagonal radiator grille imitation. The gently sloping roofline ends with one-piece taillights connected by a luminous strip.[9] Unlike the concept, the production car has visible door handles.
The car shares technical components with the related Porsche Taycan.[10] 40 percent of its parts are identical to those used in the Taycan,[11] and the cars share the same platform. Just like the Taycan, it is a 4-door sedan despite the sporty coupé-style silhouette.[12][13]
The vehicle was unveiled in 2021 IAA motor show.[14]
Pre-order of European models began in mid-February 2021, and went on sale on 3 May 2021.[15]
The fully electric driveline of the Audi e-tron GT is powered by an 84 kWh battery net capacity, (93.4 kWh gross)[2] with two electric motors providing all-wheel drive. The vehicle accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.1 seconds, reaches a top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph) and has a maximum sustained power output of 350 kW (469 hp), which can be temporarily boosted to 390 kW (523 hp).[2][16][17]
The official EPA range of the vehicle on a single charge is 383 km (238 mi). In tests performed by the automotive website Edmunds, the car surpassed its EPA rating, achieving 439 km (273 mi).[18]
The 93,4 kWh battery charges up to 100% in 540 minutes (AC 3-phase wall box/charging station 11.0 kW) and 80% in 29 minutes (DC charging station 135.0 kW).
Marketing
In the 2019 superhero film Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark drove a black Audi e-tron GT. At the time of filming, the car was still a concept and Marvel Studios commissioned Audi to manufacture a prototype specifically for the film. For this prototype, Audi developed a digitally-generated sound for the car, as the filmmakers requested that the car needed to make a sound to support the drama of the scene it appeared in. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark, also drove the prototype to the film's premiere.
As part of Audi's sponsorship of Spider-Man: Far From Home, the Audi e-tron GT concept appeared in a short film titled 'Science Fair', where Peter Parker (Tom Holland) tried to save his school science fair presentation with the help of an Audi e-tron GT concept.[28]
As part of the Audi e-Tron GT launch in Hong Kong, Ian Chan of Mirror became an e-tron brand representative in Hong Kong,[29] and the first Hong Kong artist to own an Audi e-Tron GT.[30]
As part of the general Audi e-Tron GT launch, fashion designer Stella McCartney, actor and producer Tom Hardy, and singer Janelle Monáe became product representatives. The slogan 'Future is an Attitude' was also used in the campaign.[31][32][33]
As part of the Audi RS e-tron GT launch in China, Audi Channel is presenting a movie-level live broadcast, and is jointly presented by Audi Yingjie Electric Power Pioneer and Audi e-tron GT Global Ambassador Nicholas Tse, Audi Yingjie Speedy Pioneer Han Han, and Sustainable Development Entrepreneur and F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg....Wikipedia
The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
A new body was introduced for the 1956 model featuring a new "face" and side coves; the taillamp fins were also gone. An optional fuel injection system was made available in the middle of the 1957 model year. It was one of the first mass-produced engines in history to reach 1 bhp (0.75 kW) per cubic inch (16.4 cubic cm) and Chevrolet's advertising agency used a "one hp per cubic inch" slogan for advertising the 283 bhp (211 kW) 283 cu in (4.64 L) Small-Block engine.[10] Other options included power windows (1956), hydraulically operated power convertible top (1956), heavy duty brakes and suspension (1957), and four speed manual transmission (late 1957). Delco Radio transistorized signal-seeking "hybrid" car radio, which used both vacuum tubes and transistors in its radio's circuitry (1956 option).

Single generation of the 124 series, a mid-size premium range manufactured by Mercedes-Benz between 1984 and 1997. Pictured is the third and final phase of the estate (internal code S124) which was manufactured between 1993 and 1996. This phase coincided with the official recognition of the range as the E-Class (this included changing the names of the cars so that all begin with an 'E').
With over 2.500.000 manufactured during their life cycle, no one can deny the success of the 124 range. It was replaced by the second generation of the E-Class, the range 210, beginning in 1995.
