Inveraray Castle is haunted by several ghosts. In 1644 the Duke of Argyll was driven from the castle by the Marquis of Montrose. As the Duke departed the castle his harpist was left behind. The harpist had been caught peaking through a keyhole at the Lady of the house. For his he was hung. The ghost of the harpist has been seen still wandering the castle, wearing his Campbell tartan. It is said that he is heard playing his harp every day in the castles Library.
Another legend is said to be of a ghost that warns of the death of a Campbell Chieftain. It is said that two days before the death of a chief a ghostly galleon, similar to the galleon on the Clan Campbell coat of arms is seen sailing up Loch Fynne. When the ship reaches land it does not stop, instead it continues to sail over land until it reaches the castle and claims its victim. It is said that in the 18th century, one of the chieftains was so convinced that the ghost ship was coming to take him that he actually drank poison so he would not disappoint the galleons ghostly crew.
On the 10th of July 1758 a Physician, William Hart, was walking along the castle grounds with two other men. The trio had all witnessed "a battle taking place in the sky, between Highland soldiers and French soldiers." They saw that the Highlanders had to retreat, and left behind many of their dead soldiers. Two ladies had also witnessed the battle in the sky. Several weeks later startling news arrived from America, telling of how a Highland regiment lost 300 of its soldiers on July 10, 1758, while attacking a fort held by the French.
The ghost of a young woman who was murdered by the Jacobites has also been seen haunting the castle.
HISTORY:
Inveraray Castle has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll since the early 1400s. The original castle was built in the 15th century by Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll. This castle, now demolished, had been visited by James V in 1533 and Mary Queen of Scots in 1562. It was burnt by the Marquis of Montrose in 1644. The present castle is the third built on this site. Rebuilt in 1744, with corner towers and turrets, the castle is a fine example of early Scottish Baronial style. In 1780 the 5th Duke of Argyll made improvements to the interior resulting in the "finely detailed Tapestry Room in the style of a Paris Salon" and the Dinning Room, which is described as the "finest painted room in Britain."
The 8th Duke of Argyll began restoration in 1877 after a fire destroyed the upper floors of the castle. It was during this time the Armory Hall was built, and the external conical caps added to the corner towers. The castle was the first residence in Scotland to install electricity in 1890.
"Another massive restoration was undertaken by the 12th Duke of Argyll in the mid 1990s following a further disastrous fire in 1975".
Inveraray Castle is the family home of the Clan Campbell. The State Dining Room, the Tapestry Room, the Armory Hall, the main reception rooms, the Clan Room, and a suite of former bedrooms are open to the public. The Armory holds over 1,300 pieces, a superb display including pikes, cutlasses, claymores, shields and ancient guns. "Other Items of interest include Rob Roy MacGregors sporran and dirk handle." There are fine French tapestries on display, a grand collection of 18th century French, English and Scottish furniture, magnificent chandeliers, paintings, porcelain and silver. The Clan Room features information of special interest to members of Clan Campbell and on the ceiling towering above the entrance hall are the shields of different Campbell families.
I love Gassers, genuine drag cars or road cars with gas class looks. This Chevy is a bit of both-I believe it has made a good number of passes down the strip, but it is registered and road driven. It shows well, and has that authentic vibe.
June 3, 2012. At the Baltimore, MD port, these are C Class Mercedes fresh off the boat from Germany, driven a short distance to the loading lot for the train ride to dealerships across the U.S.. Even all wrapped up with the shipping plastic covers, these are gorgeous cars. You can tell that white is one of the most popular colors.
In the early 1950s, the Swiss Air Force issued a requirement for an indigenous fighter aircraft to replace the World War II-era propeller-driven fighters then in service. FFA responded with the P-16, a jet fighter with an emphasis on ground attack and operation from short runways--an important consideration in mountainous Switzerland. The P-16 first flew in 1955, and proved ideal for the Swiss Air Force's requirements: not only was it excellent in the attack role, it was also supersonic and would make a decent fighter. However, the crash of the prototype soured the Swiss government on the P-16, and it was cancelled in favor of the British-built Hawker Hunter.
The story of the P-16 wasn't quite over, however. One of the test pilots was American Bill Lear, already well known as an aviator and inventor. Lear knew the P-16 would get no orders (FFA had tried to market it, with no success), but with a new fuselage and a few other modifications, it might make an executive transport. At the time, there were few jet executive transports, and there was a market. The basic wing design, landing gear layout and tail was kept from the P-16, but the horizontal stabilizers were moved to the top of the tail, and a completely new fuselage added; this required the engines to moved out to pods towards the tail, which also cut down on engine noise in the cabin.
Lear formed a new company to build the aircraft, the Swiss-American Aviation Corporation (SAAC), but, dissatisfied with the Swiss, Lear moved the company to the United States and renamed it Lear Jet. The SAAC-23 Execujet was subsequently marketed as the Learjet 23, and first flew in October 1963.
The Learjet 23 showed its origins as a fighter: it offered spritely performance, speed, and agility; though the fuselage sat in theory seven passengers, it was cramped. Though it was shorter ranged and not quite as fast as its main rival, the Lockheed L-1329 JetStar, it was cheaper, more fuel efficient, and flew higher. The Learjet 23 became hugely popular, to the point that not only was it simply known as the "Learjet," business jets in general got called Learjets, no matter who actually built them. It would spur an entire family of "bizjets" that continue to fly to this day.
In 1966, Learjet began offering the improved Learjet 24. Though still cramped, the Learjet 24 added another window on each side of the fuselage, a more aerodynamic cockpit windscreen, bigger tiptanks, and uprated engines to compensate for a heavier aircraft. The Learjet 24 was a good follow-on to the earlier Learjet 23, and twice as many--259--were sold before production ended in favor of newer Learjets in 1977. Though many are still in service, under newer regulations governing engine noise, operational Learjet 24s have to be fitted with hushkits.
This Learjet 24, N241JA, is on display outside the Wings Over the Rockies Museum in Denver, Colorado; it was fairly recently moved outside. It is one of the first Learjet 24s to be delivered, and may be one of the oldest Learjets on display.

Moreland Council is driving a transition to zero emissions in it's heavy vehicle fleet by piloting a hydrogen fuel cell technology for it's fleet of garbage trucks, which will be driven by a renewables powered hydrogen plant at it's Hadfield depot. This will result in zero emissions, less diesel pollution, reduced noise, and long term fuel cost savings. The Andrews state Labor Government has contributed $1 million to the development of this zero emissions fleet pilot program.

The Midland M16, also known as the Spyker M16, was the car with which the MF1 Racing team competed in the 2006 Formula One season. It was driven by Tiago Monteiro, who had driven for the team in 2005 during its Jordan guise, and Christijan Albers, who moved from Minardi.
Although Eddie Jordan had sold his team prior to the start of the 2005 season, 2006 marked the first year for the team under the Midland banner. However, team owner Alex Shnaider would soon become frustrated with the vagaries of being a tail-ending team, and sold it to Spyker Cars just before the Italian GP. The cars' livery accordingly changed from red-and-grey to Dutch orange-and-silver, but the team was called Spyker MF1 Racing as a compromise to its sponsors.

Seen at the 2012 Amelia Island Concourse d'Elegance. It's a 1934 MG PA owned by Jack E. Kahler.
From the info card:
"This MG PA1976 was shipped from the UK to New Zealand in 1939. After having passed through the hand of 50 owners - yes, fifty! The current owner bought it and shipped it from New Zealand in 2001. It was in very poor condition, but it was complete and ready for a body-off, nut-and-bolt 10 year restoration performed by this owner.
What distinguishes the MG PA from earlier model is its larger overhead cam engine, 12" brakes, larger chassis, and upgrade in finish details. Between 1929 and 1939, all MGs had overhead-cam engines, which was very advanced for the time. It is definitely a sports car, rather than a touring car. A Marshal 75 supercharger is installed to improve the cars performance which was a popular accessory available for most British cars of the time."
