Finless and with her wings 'broken' outboard of the main gear, English Electric (BAC) Lightning F.1A XM173 seen languishing in a garage yard at Lytham near Warton, Lancs several years ago.
Sold on, she was acquired by Sir James Dyson to be mounted in company with another exhibit, a Harrier GR.7 outside his Malmesbury, Wiltshire Vacuum Cleaner factory complex as a tribute to British Engineeering.
The local planning department had other ideas and vetoed the idea so while the dispute is settled, '174' was placed in storage at Kemble's Cotswold Airport.
However plans are now afoot to build a museum inside his factory complex to display this and the iconic Harrier along with other great British inventions.

De gevels in Sint-Niklaas zijn getuigen van de geschiedenis van de stad. Verspreid doorheen de stad ontdek je mooie Art deco façades. Art deco is een opmerkelijke bouwstijl die tot bloei kwam in de jaren 1920/30. Onze stad maakte toen een bloeiperiode mee. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat Sint-Niklaas toonaangevend is op het vlak van Art deco.
In de periode tussen de beide wereldoorlogen kent het Waasland een sterke groei in de textielnijverheid. De stad Sint-Niklaas is in volle ontwikkeling en de voorspoedige jaren 1920 zorgen voor nieuwe woonwijken. De welvarende burgerij geeft creatieve architecten de opdracht tot het bouwen van schitterende huizen in de meest trendy stijl van die tijd: Art deco. Tot op vandaag zijn er prachtige woningen bewaard gebleven en de Mgr. Stillemansstraat is zelfs beschermd stadsgezicht sinds 2002.
Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I.Art Deco influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theatres, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
From its outset, Art Deco was influenced by the bold geometric forms of Cubism and the Vienna Secession; the bright colors of Fauvism and of the Ballets Russes; the updated craftsmanship of the furniture of the eras of Louis Philippe I and Louis XVI; and the exotic styles of China and Japan, India, Persia, ancient Egypt and Maya art. It featured rare and expensive materials, such as ebony and ivory, and exquisite craftsmanship. The Chrysler Building and other skyscrapers of New York City built during the 1920s and 1930s are monuments of the Art Deco style.
In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, Art Deco became more subdued. New materials arrived, including chrome plating, stainless steel, and plastic. A sleeker form of the style, called Streamline Moderne, appeared in the 1930s; it featured curving forms and smooth, polished surfaces. Art Deco is one of the first truly international styles, but its dominance ended with the beginning of World War II and the rise of the strictly functional and unadorned styles of modern architecture and the International Style of architecture that followed.

From the exhibition "Shinji Ohmaki Interface of Being Vacuum Fluctuations".
Since I started shooting with a 4x5 large-format camera, I have become interested in various aspect ratios again. 3:2, 1:1, 4:5...
This time, I was conscious of the 16:9 Cinemasco ratio when shooting. In addition, the camera will be placed on a chaise lounge set up in the exhibition room, and the shot will be a long exposure shot.
The latter , produced by A. Wells & Co , probably in the early 1960s , was designed to give young girls a grounding in the housework that was to become their destiny . It was " powered " by 2 AA batteries .

40090 rumbles past Plumley West with 6F41 Tunstead to Oakleigh limestone train formed of the 1936 built vacuum only hoppers on 12th August 1983.
These hoppers were used for the movement of limestone between the Peak District & Northwich and were finally withdrawn in 1997 after 61 years service.
I recall a healthy flow of traffic to and from Northwich on this day, either limestone or coke & coal.
The Whistler was withdrawn just 3 months after this shot in November and scrapped a year later at Doncaster Works.
An old "Telefunken" vacuum tube, perhaps very rare and worth hundreds of dollars :-)
The filament is glowing to add some color to the otherwise rather unicolored picture.

Weakness: Water and easily blackmailed when it comes too his memory chip being promised to be returned to him.
Backstory: The poor cyborg known as Circuits is not a bad guy as such just a poor injured man who lost his memory and is being blackmailed into getting his memory back by a vengeful villain.
"Circuits" used to be a well known soldier until approached for a new super soldier serum which granted the man super durability by T.O.X.I.N. The serum worked successfully but when the lab was attacked by a hero who discovered the illegal activity the lab blew up.
The man woke up in rubble his durability saved his life unfortunately...he soon discovered he was missing one if his arms and legs and his brain was damaged causing him severe memory loss. T.O.X.I.N henchmen then came across the injured man and brought him to their leader Toxin. Toxin then realised they could salvage the injured man so their successful experiment wouldn't die and be "wasted". The injured man was then sent to The Kingston's Arch Enemy known as Vacuum...Vacuum then used his robotics to replace the I hired mans limbs. Being called Circuit by Vacuum because of the man now being made of metallic wires to fix his injuries and power his new electronic missing limbs. When "Circuit" awoke after the procedure he explained he couldn't remember a thing including his name...Vacuum then made an actual memory chip which he could insert into Circuits head and give him his memory back. Vacuum made Circuit a deal where if Circuit killed Vacuums arch enemies(The Kingston's) he would give Circuit his memory back by giving him possession of the memory chip.
Later being defeated by The Kingston's but almost killing them in the process Circuit has proven to be an equal match against them as well as Vacuum...Circuit has attempted to take the memory chip by force but Vacuum explained he has inserted the memory chip into his suit so if he is harmed so is the memory chip within Vacuums suit....Circuit and Vacuum are now the far most dangerous villains to The Kingston's and also their arch enemies.
Yes, the blouse is see-through. Yes, you can see my bra (I should've worn a less obvious looking one). Yes, I'm wearing a belted, patent leather skirt. And, yes, the vacuum is unplugged. But, I mean, at least I look like I'm doing housework.
Engineers seen preparing a test inside the largest vacuum chamber of the ESA Propulsion Laboratory – this CORONA test facility measures 2 m in height and 5 m in length – to evaluate a compact electric propulsion design tailored for microsatellites and CubeSats.
Electric propulsion involves accelerating propellant via various electrical or magnetic methods to reach high levels of efficiency – propellant can be ejected up to 20 times faster than a traditional thruster.
Electric propulsion can only take place in vacuum conditions however, so test chambers are equipped with powerful pumps to evacuate all air, along with coolers to freeze the remainder.
Electrostatic probes, mass spectrometers and gas analysers can be used to assess thruster plume characteristics and divergence. Shield-like beam targets and plume diffusers are deployed to prevent potential damage to vacuum chambers from higher-power engines.
Based at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands, the ISO 9001-certified ESA Propulsion Lab is also equipped to test cold gas thrusters and liquid flow and sloshing in engines, tanks and piping.
The Lab’s objectives include end-to-end testing of CubeSat propulsion systems, accelerating development and testing of new small electric and green-chemical propulsion, developing fluid dynamics and propulsion simulation tools via test validation and increasing the competences and training of the coming generation of propulsion engineers.
The ESA Propulsion Lab prioritises testing for ESA projects but is also available for commercial testing serving ESA Member States companies. Click here for more information

This photograph comes to you by courtesy of the letter V, my twenty-second picture for the February Alphabet Fun: 2025 group.
Messier 109, also known as The Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy, is arguably the most distant object in the Messier Catalogue. Arguable because it is one of two Messier objects that are thought to be 55 million light-years away (the other is galaxy M58). M109 is also the faintest of the M objects and, like Andromeda Galaxy, home to over a trillion stars. It has several companion galaxies, three of which are easily seen in my picture. Harder to spot are the dozen or so background galaxies in the photo.
I imaged for two nights with the ZWO 2600MC and the Celestron HD8 atop the iOptron CEM40ec.
The house is so quiet now
The vacuum cleaner sulks in the corner closet,
Its bag limp as a stopped lung, its mouth
Grinning into the floor, maybe at my
Slovenly life, my dog-dead youth.
I’ve lived this way long enough,
But when my old woman died her soul
Went into that vacuum cleaner, and I can’t bear
To see the bag swell like a belly, eating the dust
And the woollen mice, and begin to howl
Because there is old filth everywhere
She used to crawl, in the corner and under the stair.
I know now how life is cheap as dirt,
And still the hungry, angry heart
Hangs on and howls, biting at air.

There are two effect styles that come with his pack -
Suction!, Like a vacuum sucking in your particles with force!
Slow - slow, drifting more breezy magnet like pulling to the center.
Both work with customisable settings. Or 'default setting' which is a
default preset that instantly clicks in to a great preset bundle of
aura settings.
12 particle textures!
Moxie at her 'finest', protesting against chores. Yah, I don't like them either, but I don't go on attacking cleaning tools because of it! ;)
This fight has been going on for years and its a wonder we ever vacuum our floors at all, and amazing the vacuum cleaner isn't more scarred than it is. She really means it, "No more vacuuming!"
Our Daily Challenge "Animal" ('Animal' happens to be the name of the model vacuum cleaner we have by Dyson...it is the best one we've ever had)

I was able to complete a necklace... using a vacuum tube. I love vacuum tubes... they are just the coolest piece of old tech. This particular tube is only a bit over 5cm long - just about 2 inches... but I've got another BIGGER one that I can't wait to start.
Someone in BC has this piece in her collection - or will soon. I'm planning on making some more.
Anyway, I designed a "hardware" chain - using various bits of standard, modern hardware - but I think it works. It's kind of nice to make something that isn't clock/ watch related.
