Again a little excursion.
This time just me and my bike. It goes beyond Benrath Castle to a spot on the Rhine, I still don't know.

Eingebaut im Stahlwerk.
Installed in a Steelwork.
This was made in the 1960s, as part of the Triang Hornby 'Battle Space' range of models.
It's an unusual model train item, as it is a stand alone vehicle that can't be joined to anything else. The motor also powers the propeller at the back, not the wheels.
It's also a health & safety nightmare for smaller children! This thing can fly round the track and anyone at ground level taking a look it is liable to get a poke in the eye. A spinning propeller at the back is also not great for little fingers.
Having said that, it's a real curiosity and boxed ones are becoming quite rare.
Neglected old boat next to the decaying jetty in Karavostasi, which still remains under Turkish occupation since 1974.
Aircraft Propeller this is attached to a Beech twin engine WW2 bomber trainer found in North Carolina.
DWB 111, also known as the Propeller Nebula is a hydrogen-alpha emission nebula in Cygnus. The propeller shape is actually a small portion of a much larger emission nebula.... There is little known about it, not even it's distance from Earth.
Details:
Mount: Mesu 200
Telescope: TMB152/1200 refractor
Camera: QSI690 with 3nm Astrodon Narrowband filters
This is a total of 46.5 hours of total exposure.

Looking straight up into the clouds of Cygnus-X. 6 hours SHO from Oria in Spain using TelescopeLive and the SPA-3 telescope. In the upper middle the Propeller nebula DWB111/119. Strange object that we know very little about. Distance about 4,600 light years taking a guess based on the distance to the Cygnus environment.
This is Douglas C-49H CF-PWH (c/n 2198) "Spirit of the Skeena" Built in 1935
The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner that was manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It had a lasting effect on the airline industry from the 1930s through World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved, 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). Although the DC-3s originally built for civil service had the Wright R-1820 Cyclone, later civilian DC-3s used the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engine.[ The DC-3 has a cruising speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km); it can operate from short runways.
The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before World War II, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental United States from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours, with only three stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies. In 1939, at the peak of its dominance in the airliner market, around 90% of airline flights on the planet were by a DC-3 or some variant.
Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft, and the DC-3 was no longer competitive because it was smaller and slower than aircraft built during the war. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the Douglas DC-4 and Convair 240, but the design proved adaptable and was still useful on less commercially demanding routes.
Civilian DC-3 production ended in 1943 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the C-47 Skytrain (the Dakota in British RAF service), and Soviet- and Japanese-built versions, brought total production to over 16,000. Many continued to be used in a variety of niche roles; 2,000 DC-3s and military derivatives were estimated to be still flying in 2013;] by 2017 more than 300 were still flying. As of 2023, it was estimated about 150 were still flying.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
