This Saab 340 was carrying out engine runs on the 09 Threshold at Glasgow Airport in the low winter sun. I decided to have a bit of a processing adventure with this photo.
Hundreds of residents enjoyed getting up close to vintage vehicles when the ever-popular Fire Engine Rally rolled into Johnstone at the weekend.
Big crowds descended on Houstoun Square for a full afternoon of family fun as emergency vehicles old and new gathered in the town centre.

This is the last engine to serve as Engine 154
This manual fire engine, on display at the Museum of Fire in Edinburgh, is one of the first hand pumps commissioned in 1824. Prior to the introduction of horses, it was pulled by the firefighters themselves, a highly dangerous undertaking when going downhill, as the engine had no breaks, resulting in many broken bones and even two deaths.
Cute little engine on a popcorn and roasted peanut cart.
The heat from the boiler pops the popcorn as well as roasts the peanuts, and the steam engine turns the barrel that the nuts roast in.

I bought one of Suzuki's Infamous Rotary RE-5 Motorcycle in 1975, It was actually pretty quick for a Heavy Motorcycle and could have set the “G” stock record in Motorcycle drag racing if it weren't for the rule that you would have to tear the engine down to claim it.
The basic design is a century-old one. Felix Wankel himself was a German engineer who came up with his version of a rotary engine in the 1920s. Being busy with warmongering on behalf of the Nazi party, he didn't get the chance to develop his vision too far until 1951, when German automaker NSU invited him to design a prototype. The Wankel is the most common and successful rotary engine design, and the only one to make it into mass production. In the early 70s, Mazda envisioned an entire lineup of Wankel-powered cars, a dream that was smashed by the 1973 oil crisis.
