Among the restoration projects at the Glenn L. Martin Museum, are this Grumman Cougar, the blue wings from one of two Martin AM-1 Maulers, and the tail of a Martin P6M-2 Seamaster, the only one of its kind surviving. These artifacts were cordoned off, so this is as close as I could go, along with a telephoto lens.

St Benedict, Glinton, Cambridgeshire
A mile or so to the east of the tiny village of Etton was Glinton, which in a different setting might be a small town, but here it is a bit of Peterborough suburbia that has been set adrift. The church was in the village centre, and was open.
The church is visible from a long way off - indeed, I would catch glimpses of it all day - because of its spire, which is at once tall and elegant and yet also a bulging example of entasis (look it up).
There are some excellent gargoyles, including one of a man bending over so that the water is expelled from his bare bottom. In the porch are reset two elaborate tomb chest tops with sculptures of a man and a woman.
The church is open every day, and makes a great virtue of being so. The interior is broadly all of its 19th Century restoration, but there is a good Norman font. Not terribly exciting, but a sense of a busy, welcoming place. I sat and ate a sandwich and chatted with an old lady who was on her way in to do some flowers, before heading on less than a mile to Peakirk.
As part of the Southern CREW Critical Restoration Project in December 2016 and January 2017, an SFWMD contractor burned the remains of previously cleared trees as part of an effort to restore the natural hydrology of Southern CREW and open up the area for public access.

These broken bolts could have blown Jimmy's engine during the race. They were found inside the engine during the restoration- miraculously stayed out of the sophisticated gear drives.
"Camshaft and accessory drive forms quite an impressive assemblage of gears. 14 in all, including a few that drive the oil pumps and water pump. Ball bearings in the two-piece front cover support the jackshafts for the gears. Very accurate machining of these parts results in only .010" backlash between the crankshaft and any camshaft. A vernier arrangement of the gear mounting holes allows the camshaft timing to be set to within 1 degree of design specification."
Some details:
One of the cars being restored by R&A Engineering during my visit on August 15. They are a world-class restoration operation near my old hometown of Manchester.
Progress is slow for this project, this week I replaced the left rear door which had rust in the bottom. The replacement door has no rust, but, still needs to be prepared for paint like the rest of the car. I put new glass and window channels in this door prior to placing it on the car to check alignment. The doors will come back off for paint prep work when ready. 1950 Oldsmobile 98 models came with a rear vent glass, however, late 1950 models and 1951 had no vent glass. The doors I bought to use on this are 1951 model year, which are the same, with the exception of the vent glass. I had to go this route because the vents on the original doors needed new weatherstrip and unfortunately, no one makes a replacement weatherstrip for this model. Now the car will look like a late 1950 model, rather than the early model that it is. I don't care because it is not my intention to make a show car out of it.
