Non sono certamente più una novità le pilote Z1A, seconda serie delle pilote per InterCity acquistate da Trenitalia, anche in direttissima si potevano già vedere sugli InterCity 583, 592, 580 e 599, ma da alcune settimane anche la coppia 590 e 597 ha assunto questa configurazione, si perdono quindi le speranze di vedere anche su questi treni un minimo di varietà, e soprattutto di vedere le Tartarughe, che non per fare facile ironia, sono in via d'estinzione.

THE GRUMMAN MARTLET SINGLE-SEAT FIGHTER
The Martlet is another of those tubby little American fighters which look like flying barrels. In general appearance, it is not unlike the Buffalo, though its square-cut wing-tips and more tapered fuselage should prevent confusion between the two types.
Like the Buffalo, the Martlet is in service with the Fleet Air Arm. Very little has been said yet about the Martlet's work, but it is safe to say that some of our newer aircraft carriers have Martlets aboard.
This aircraft should give a very good account of itself over the sea because it has the three things essential to an F.A.A. fighter: speed, manoeuvrability, and range. Its maximum range is 1,150 miles, which would enable it to be used as a fast scouting plane as well as for immediate protection of the Fleet or of convoys.
An unusual feature in the Martlet is the provision of two small windows under the pilot's feet, to enable him to have more than the normal look-out below.
It is known that the Martlet has already had encounters with
the Luftwaffe and has acquitted itself very well.

The Grumman Wildcat and the Grumman Martlet are essentially the same aircraft - the Martlet being the RAF variant. This IWM variant started life in the USA in 1945 before moving to IWM in 1993
Hawker Hurricanes are a popular attraction at airshows, showcasing their historic role as a key British fighter during World War II. Known for their graceful handling and iconic design, these aircraft often perform dynamic flying displays, including tight turns and high-speed passes. Their presence serves as a tribute to the pilots and engineers of the era, captivating aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Homeward bound.
Pilot Mountain is part of the Sauratown Mountains, which is a chain of mountains that was named after the Native American tribe known as the Saura. As the earliest known inhabitants in the region, the Saura called Pilot Mountain "Jomeokee,'' which means "pilot'' or "great guide.
A group of Pilot Whales is an incredibly lucky encounter in the Mediterranean, considering that the estimates of their population size are in the hundreds of individuals. Once you do happen to find them, however, you are rewarded with some of the most breathtaking interactions of the marine world, as long-finned Pilot Whales are some of the most curious and playful wild creatures I've ever seen.
A big thank you to Tethys research institute for making such experiences possible, and for all the research and conservation they do to protect these creatures.
In this picture I also managed to capture the incredibly smooth texture of their Melon, with a reflection of the research vessel "Pelagos".

The Ford Pilot Model E71A is a medium-sized car that was built by Ford UK from August 1947 to 1951.[5] It was effectively replaced in 1951 with the launch of Ford UK's Zephyr Six and Consul models, though V8 Pilots were still offered for sale, being gradually withdrawn during that year. During the period of manufacture 22,155 cars were produced.

The locomotive assigned to Viseu yard pilot duties on 4th October 2016 was 87-0032-0, a 450 hp 1974-built class 'L45H' and originally with the Romanian Railways (C.F.R.) depot at Alba Iulia. It was captured at the throat of the yard positioning cut logs for steam loco use and a flat wagon and fuel tank ready for forming into the following day's production train. The predominance of posts and power lines is unhelpful - it is not a new communications attachment to the loco!

Douglas Bader was a Royal Air Force fighter pilot who overcame the loss of both legs in a 1931 crash to become a celebrated ace during World War II. He led squadrons with great skill and determination, particularly during the Battle of Britain, before being shot down and captured in 1941. Despite multiple escape attempts, he remained a prisoner until the war’s end and later became a symbol of resilience and determination.
He was also a keen motorist and owned several notable cars, including an Alvis 4.3-litre and a Drophead Bentley. His driving was known to be as bold as his flying, sometimes alarming passengers with his confidence behind the wheel.
