12/2022 - Commodore, PA
Corman recently had a rail train on the property dropping new CWR at the Commodore Loop to replace the stick rail. This new piece of rail is dated 2019. Speculation was that it may have come from the Kiski Junction Railroad but that rail went to the South Kansas & Oklahoma RR.
1961 Büssing Commodore at Auto- und Technikmuseum Sinsheim, Germany.
Büssing was founded in 1903 and quickly became one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles.
After WWI Büssing acquired truck manufacturers Mannesman-Mulag and Komnick and in 1931 Büssing merged with NAG, the automobile division of electrical company AEG. The brand Büssing-NAG was used until 1950, when Büssing took over all of AEG shares. Büssing continued production until 1971, when it was taken over by MAN.
To keep the legacy alive, the "Büssing-Lion" was integrated into MAN logo

Air Commodore
An RAF Air Commodore's sleeve/shoulder insigniaAir commodore (Air Cdre in the RAF and IAF, AIRCDRE in the RNZAF and RAAF, A/C in the former RCAF) is an air-officer rank which originated in and continues to be used by the Royal Air Force. The rank is also used by the air forces of many countries which have historical British influence and it is sometimes used as the English translation of an equivalent rank in countries which have a non-English air force-specific rank structure.
In the present-day RAF, air commodores typically hold senior appointments within groups, acting directly in support of the air officer commanding. However, during the inter-war period, and in the case of the contemporary No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group, the air officer commanding held or holds air commodore rank.

Seniority Air Commodore is a one-star rank and the most junior air officer rank, being immediately senior to Group Captain and immediately subordinate to Air Vice-Marshal. It has a NATO ranking code of OF-6 and is equivalent to a Commodore in the Royal Navy or a Brigadier in the British Army or the Royal Marines. Unlike these two ranks, however, it has always been a substantive rank. Additionally, air commodores have always been considered to be air officers whilst Royal Navy commodores have never been classified as officers of flag rank and British Army brigadiers have not been considered to be general officers since 1922 when they ceased to be titled as brigadier-generals.
The equivalent rank in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) (until 1968) and Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service (PMRAFNS) (until 1980) was Air Commandant.

On 1 April 1918, the newly created RAF adopted its officer rank titles from the British Army, with officers at what is now Air Commodore holding the rank of Brigadier-General. In response to the proposal that the RAF should use its own rank titles, it was suggested that the RAF might use the Royal Navy's officer ranks, with the word "Air" inserted before the naval rank title. Although the Admiralty objected to this simple modification of their rank titles, it was agreed that the RAF might base many of its officer rank titles on Navy officer ranks with differing pre-modifying terms. It was also suggested that air-officer ranks could be based on the term "Ardian", which was derived from a combination of the Gaelic words for "chief" (ard) and "bird" (eun), with the term "Fourth Ardian" or "Flight Ardian" being used for the equivalent to Brigadier-General and Commodore. However, the rank title based on the Navy rank was preferred and Air Commodore was adopted on 1 August 1919.
RAF insignia, command flag and star plateThe rank insignia is a light blue band on a broad black band worn on the both the lower sleeves of the tunic or on the shoulders of the flying suit or the casual uniform. On the mess uniform, Air Commodores wear a broad gold ring on both lower sleeves.
The command flag of an air commodore has one narrow red band running through the centre and is rectangular with a cut-away section giving it two tails. It is the only RAF command flag of this shape and it is similar in shape to that of a Royal Navy commodore's broad pennant.
The vehicle star plate for an Air Commodore depicts a single white star (Air Commodore is equivalent to a one-star rank) on an air force blue background.

An early and uncommon Japanese radio. According to the date codes on the capacitors this radio was produced sometime in the fall of 1957. It was certainly inspired by the design of Sony's historic TR-63. Still this Commodore managed some nice features on the front which set it apart. Rather than utilizing a perforated metal speaker grille the entire facade is covered with a horizontal lattice grille, separated by a metal band. The contrasting black thumbwheel dial is attractive and strategically inset into the cabinet to avoid any accidental tuning.
it is slightly larger than the TR-63 and is equally hefty and solidly built.
The radio works but the tone is a bit thin, it may need new capacitors or an alignment.
My guess is that this radio was made by Koyo (Koyo Denki Co., Ltd) ......click on the chassis pic below to see why.

If there's a vehicle that's more infamous than famous, that vehicle would have to be the Sandman. It attracted attention - for all the wrong reasons - in the seventies, but is nevertheless an iconic part of Aussie motoring history. When the Monaro was revived on the eve of the new Millennium, it seemed natural for the Sandman to follow, which it did at the Sydney Motor Show in 2000.
The reboot of the Sandman became a collaboration between Holden and streetwear/surfwear brand, Mambo, but had its roots in a sketch by Andrew Smith, one of Holden's young designers, in 1997. From that sketch, the idea of new Sandman stagnated, according to Holden's Executive in Charge of Design, Mike Simcoe, until Mambo was invited to be a part of the project.
"As I see it, here you have two Australian legends getting together and having fun," Simcoe said.
"Mambo's a cutting edge company with a whimsical outlook on life, while we tend to be a little more on the conservative side. When two talented design teams approach a task from entirely different directions, you're bound to get a pretty amazing result."
Based on a stock VU ute, the Sandman concept featured a unique canopy to mimic the panel van look, topped by a special Mambo surfboard, but it was the riot of colour and bold graphics that drew the most attention. Dubbed "Burnin' Love", the paint featured a vibrant mix of red, orange and tangerine in a very Mambo-esque take on the classic hot rod flamed paint job. A modern interpretation of the Sandman tailgate graphic was rendered in the same colours, while that essential panel van accessory - the airbrushed mural - was copied off original art created by Mambo art director, David McKay. A 'bush goddess' graced one side, while a 'beach goddess' featured on the other.
Inside, the "Burnin' Love" themed continued with flame appliquéd seats in red leather, tangerine suede and orange velour produced by Paratus Industries to the Mambo/Holden design. The flame treatment even extended to the instrument cluster, dubbed 'bushfire alert'! In the back, a 'chill out zone' featured freeform seating, surround-sound theatre system and more flame motifs in the ceiling lights. Car Shine supplied the 19-inch Lorinser wheels, tyres and brakes that featured the Mambo logo milled on the calipers.
One of the stars of the Sydney show, with a "cool" factor that was off the scale, the Sandman concept remains one of Holden's best loved. Following its tour of the shows, the Sandman was put on display at GM-H headquarters in Port Melbourne.
