Blackpool Flexity tram 016 in that splendid lilac livery - they should paint them all similarly ! Not so sure about the unicorns though - thought unicorns were reserved for BREXIT !!
Also known as the Halina Prefect, and very similar to the Halina Viceroy and Wales Reflex (and the Kinoflex too!).
A simple fixed focus metal TLR camera. I'm hesitant to apply the "pseudo TLR" label because it doesn't use a brilliant finder, and the focussing screen can be used to judge when you are too close to something, even if the focus is fixed.
I & B shutter synchronized for flash (bulbs most certainly), and selectable apertures f16, f11, and f8.
The Votar Flex variation appears to be common in the U.S. whereas the Halina variations are common in Europe.
Oh, and I finally got an answer to something I had always wondered about. Whether "double meniscus" refered to the taking lens, or to the taking and viewing lenses (eg. "double" meniscus lenses). It refers to the taking lens, which is composed of two symmetrically placed meniscus lenses. Kind of like a rapid rectilinear but crappier.
