Proton car in foreign countries

There are three very similar tower blocks grouped together in Poplar - the EleKtron (sic) Tower, The Proton Tower and the Neutron Tower. The EleKtron (sic) Tower is the smallest of the three but I am positive this shot is of the Proton Tower...
Protonic Blue is the best color on the BMW i8 in my opinion

An aurora (pl. aurorae or auroras), also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.
Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Major disturbances result from enhancements in the speed of the solar wind from coronal holes and coronal mass ejections. These disturbances alter the trajectories of charged particles in the magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles.
Most of the planets in the Solar System, some natural satellites, brown dwarfs, and even comets also host auroras.
KP9 Geomagnetic Storm from AR 3664: Giant Sunspot Group.
Registered in northeast London, on SORN and without an MOT since 2020.
Last time I was in the area, this was surrounded by weeds! The weeds are gone but this remains.

Lovely car to see. Didn't know about it until a month ago and finally snapped it off the driveway. Looked in fabulous condition if a little bit dirty. Interestingly is now SORNed and is a two owner car
The Severe Geomagnetic Storm of 11 November produced bright red aurora (induced by electrons) and much rarer yellow-green aurora (caused by protons). Protons are over 1800 time heavier than electrons and result in very brief duration interactions with gases the upper atmosphere. These events can only occur at G4 or G5 level intensities.
The famed racetrack and the sailing rocks. On a cool clear night in march 2021, I was lucky to be the only one on the playa at night. I had a fun time walking around shooting different comps. Most of the rocks move north-south direction, so even though I wanted the milky way arch on the rocks, that wouldn't happen. So I ended up with this shot. This was taken very close to twilight as it was early in the milky way season.
For me, this composition exemplifies the symbiotic relationship between research and nature that is Fermilab.
The Proton Pagoda (left) was the operations center for fixed-target beamline experiments that occurred downstream to the right. The yellow spiral staircase in its base was designed to represent the double helix strand of the DNA molecule.

All you need is a miniature figurine, a flashlight, your macro lens and some space on the kitchen counter. Ahhh, the fun you can have on a rainy afternoon. :)
Here is a one from the Mothers day Aurora display a few months back
A fairly rare proton arc was visible during this display, which was great to see reaching up into the sky ...

Spotted in Kensal Rise, according to the DVLA its only done 49k miles, looked in good shape too, these are scarce cars nowadays

Well, after seeing this one on the road a few times in December and then getting a dashcam grab on New Year's eve it surprised me by turning up for sale outside my favourite local budget car lot. In fact a lot of my local spots seem to come from or end up here...
Anyway, it appears to have a tiny mileage of just under 32k at its last MOT in May '17. Not a bad MOT history, although looks like it received a lot of welding to pass last year.
Quite a display of accessory driving lamps...

Sat outside the local Citroen dealer, this Proton advertising their Scrappage scheme has a lower mileage than a good number of the cars sat on their retail forecourt - it had only done 16,700 miles at its last test in August!
These were never very common in the UK and it's quite a while since I recall seeing one. 41,000 miles at the last MOT and appeared to be in excellent condition.

I cannot vaguely claim any understanding of particle physics but really do have great admiration for those scientists and engineers who hitchhike around the galaxy, trying to discover the answer to life, the universe and everything. For what little it is worth and with a total lack of scientific evidence, my own hunch is that as scientists find and research ever smaller particles, the most ironic discovery may well be that our own gigantic universe is not unique....that at least one other universe also exists.

It occurred to me (after I gave it away) that I never actually took a decent picture of my proton pack. So here it is. You can find instruction for this in BrickJournal issue 29.
The ‘GE’ is no doubt the rarest spec of Proton MPi, both then and now. It was the base spec of the range, but many people went for the higher spec GL and GLS due to them still being so affordable, yet better equipped. Usual Red paint fade aside, this example looked to be in good condition, particularly for an inner London car. Oh, and yes, that is my note under the wiper!

RA-42434 - Yakovlev YAK-42M - PROTON
at Frankfurt Rhein/Main Airport (FRA)
c/n 4520424305017 - built in 1993 for Orel Avia -
final operator was YAK Service -
w/o 9/7/11 in Volga river near Yaroslavl Airport (UUDL)
destroyed when it crashed about 1 km from the runway of Yaroslavl Airport (IAR), Russia. Forty-three people were killed and two survived. The surviving passenger died on September 12 of his injuries.
The airplane carried members of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl KHL ice hockey team for a match in Minsk.

I thought this was a Gen 2. Presumably they retained the Persona name for the saloon. Although it does say Gen 2 on the bootlid!
This would have been local to where I was living at the time it was new. Great to see those dealer plates still in place. Cars like this and the one in the previous picture epitomise the FoU for me.
This is a 12 shot panorama covering ~180 degrees that I took during the geomagnetic storm on June 22nd. This was facing east over the ocean with the aurora on the left, the Milky Way on the right and a Proton Arc in the middle.
This is the first of these I've seen in quite a while, numbers really seem to have thinned out in the last three years or so.
This was taken during a quick look around Cambridge, which seemed quite promising for old cars initially, with a couple of good sightings while driving into the centre (F-reg Micra, early Jag XJ-S Convertible, Honda Concerto), but didn't fully deliver when I was on foot unfortunately!
Finally got a photo of this one after seeing it elsewhere a couple of years ago.
MoT expired and now on SORN. It'd done just under 79k miles at its last MoT in 2021.
I can just about make out the tag on the plate for Pageant Garage, I think in Beccles. No immediate trace of them now.
