Rovers' Goalie Steve Mildenhall acknowledges cheering fans in the Tote End while young fans cluster around him. at the BRISTOL ROVERS PROMOTION
Game against Dagenham, after which Rovers got promoted to League 1. There was a pitch invasion by numerous fans and this was part of it. There seemed far more on the pitch than in the stands by the end of it.

This is one of my favourite candid shots I took at Rovers due to the kids' sheer joy at meeting someone who was evidently his footballing hero.

- It was named after a bird from Native American mythology representing power and strength, devised by Alden “Gib” Biberson, for which he received a $95 suit and an extra pair of pants from Saks Fifth Avenue.
- The T-bird was at first shown on February 20th, 1954 at the Detroit Auto Show as concept car and at first introduced in 1955 as a real luxury sports car with a standard fiberglass removable top, with over 4,000 orders taken on its first day of sale.
- Only for three years the Ford Thunderbird was built as a two-seater, in the base identical to differ only in the details. Like only the ’56 model had the spare tire mounted on the rear bumper (Continental Kit) and the first model with a 12 Volts electric system and a 76 liter fuel tank while the ’57 model (spare tire again in the trunk) became little tail fins, a restyled grill, fresh bumper designs, larger brakes, stiffer chassis crossmembers and new 14-inch wheels.

* Photo taken at the Elfstedentocht Oldtimer Rally (Eleven City Trip Oldtimer Rally) in Franeker - The Netherlands, over (235km☺☺☺!!) unfortunately bad weather.

- It's designed by Frank Callaby and Arthur Ballard.
- The design of the rolling chassis was by Ray Turner.
- The 1800 Roadster is based on the "1800 Saloon", the first Triumph model after World War II.
- The name "Roadster" is misleading. Actually it is a "Drophead Coupe".
- It has a four-speed manual gearbox (column lever), a Solex carburettor and rear wheel drive.
- The aluminium anachronistic body work (pre-war steel shortages) on a tubular steel ladder type chassis had large separate headlights and the radiator was well back from the front between large "coal scuttle" wings.
- The doors were hinged at the rear and opened in the classic "suicide" form.
- The windshield had three screen wipers because of its unusual width. Three passengers could sit on the front bench☺☺!
- It has transverse leaf sprung independent suspension at the front, a live axle with half elliptic springs at the rear and hydraulic drum brakes all around.
- At the rear is a dickey seat with its own folding windscreen: this was outside the hood that could be erected to cover the front seat.

Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.
The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.
Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.
This wasn't an accident. Three chaps who really knew what they were doing were having fun off Poole beach.
