The BSA Scout is a small open two-seater front-wheel drive car, manufactured and sold by subsidiaries of The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited, launched at the beginning of April 1935. On account of its front-wheel drive and low centre of gravity it was said to be remarkably stable taking corners in safety which would be impossible with a normal design.
This 1939 1.2 litre BSA Scout, BFN 593, is seen in the Orchard at Prescott 1speed hill climb on 5.05.2022.
Tweede poging nadat Flickr ineens besloot om mijn verhaal te verwijderen.....
In tegenstelling tot KBS 310 tussen Braunschweich en Magdeburg is KBS 254 tussen Magdeburg en Dessau nog in Reichsbahn-sferen gehuld. Deze behoorlijk druk door goederenverkeer gebruikte route in de loop van de Elbe kent nog bemande posten, mechanisch aangestuurde beveiliging en handbediende overwegen. Ten behoeve van de treinopvolging zijn er nog veel blokposten en daardoor zijn de stations, ook in kleinere plaatsen, nog behoorlijk uitgebreid. Na de Wende was de lijn enkele jaren onderdeel van de enige geëlektrificeerde verbinding vanuit het westen naar Berlijn. Vanaf het even verder gelegen Gúterglück reden onder andere de internationale reizigerstreinen uit Nederland over de inmiddels gesloten 'Kanonenbahn' richting de hoofdstad. Ook die lijn was overigens klassiek beveiligd en de restanten zijn deels nog aanwezig, maar dat is een ander verhaal.
Het contrast kan niet groter met de moderne Stadler Eurodual van het in spotvervoer gespecialiseerde bedrijf BSAS. Het nabij Zwickau gevestigde bedrijf heeft drie van deze stoere bakbeesten in gebruik, die elk een eigen opvallende kleurstelling hebben. Hier komt de 159 209 met een ketelwagentrein langs het Stellwerk van Prödel gereden, op weg naar het noorden.

Found in the never ending "box" of family photos. I'd say how many photos I think we've looked through, but nobody believes it, so I won't bother. Lets just say I started this exercise two years and 50 weeks ago! Obviously I "put it down and pick it up again" so to speak - its not been a constant thing, but I can only face doing a bit at a time. What is "doing my head in" is the repetition - lots of family members had the same photo and the collection/archive I'm sorting through is basically everyone's photos :-( going back to the late 1800s.
This shot is of some interest as I hadn't realised there was any interest in motorcycling in previous generations. For all I know the BSA and sidecar might not have been owned by a family member, but there are definitely some family members in the shot.
Adults and kids all wearing hats :-)
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
A BSA somethingorother
To my knowledge I have never used the phrase "neither fish nor fowl" before, but for some reason it popped into my head when I was uploading this.
I looked it up on (we used to say "in") a dictionary and lo and behold, the definition is:-
"of indefinite character and difficult to identify or classify"
Perfect

The Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad (BSAS) or Sultan Abdul Samad Building was built by the British during colonial times as their administrative HQ in Kuala Lumpur. After Malaya gained independence, it served as the courthouse. Before the Petronas Twin Towers were built, this served as the main landmark and symbol of the city, facing Merdeka or Independence Square. Now, after refurbishment, it is open to the public with exhibition rooms displaying the history and cuture of the city, with cafes and a shop too.
