Spitfire LF Mk Vb EP120
From June to October 1943, this Mk Vb was flown by Canadian Squadron Leader Geoffrey Northcott. Northcott shot down six German fighters in this Spitfire.
Characterised by its graceful curves, elliptical wings and the sound of its powerful Rolls Royce engine, the Spitfire has remained a British icon since its heroic efforts in the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Often referred to as "The Home of the Spitfire", IWM Duxford’s historic airfield was the base of the very first RAF fighter squadron to receive the aircraft in 1938.
See a world first at IWM Duxford – the largest collection of Spitfires under one roof at the historic airfield that keeps making history.
From 27 December until 20 February, 2020 get up close to twelve Spitfires of varying marks side by side on display for a limited time only.
Spitfire: Evolution of an Icon will celebrate how this aircraft captured the hearts of the home front and became synonymous with the hope and protection of the British Isles.

The colossal Princess Margaret at Lee on Solent Hovercraft Museum.
She is the largest hovercraft in the world.
In her prime she could carry 60 cars and over 400 passengers across to France
This could be one of the last times she will be seen as the land has been allocated for housing and the Museum has to find new premises.
The Museum currently has both of the giant Princesses on display but one is to be disposed of to pay off outstanding rents to the Landlord.

After an engine bearing failed and an autorotational landing, this is where we ended up...an empty field in Adams County some 60 nautical miles or so away from the trauma center in Denver where we were heading. The number two bearing in the engine disintegrated and caused the engine to seize with a loud bang and a flash of light that was very visible under night vision goggles! After completing the emergency shutdown and exiting the aircraft, I looked up at the aircraft to check for a fire, and while we weren't on fire, the exhaust stack for the engine was glowing red hot.
I took this shot about an hour or two later while I was waiting for our mechanics to arrive. The sheriff's department had sent a deputy out and the local volunteer fire department had dispatched a truck with two volunteers so that I would have someplace to stay warm as it was getting a bit chilly that night.
The image quality is not that great as I took this shot with my BlackBerry and the bird was illuminated by the headlights from the patrol car and the fire department's pickup.
I would like to pass along a special thanks to AirLife Denver (yes, the same one that is in the Duracell battery commercial) for coming to pick up our patient and getting him to the trauma center in Denver. And to their pilot that was kind enough to loan me his jacket. When we departed our based in Erie it was late afternoon and fairly pleasant outside and I left my jacket back at the base not planning on the engine failing that night and me spending six hours in a field.
As fate would have it, about one hundred yards away from where we landed stands a monument dedicated to the crew of a B-24 Liberator that crashed in that same field in 1942...all souls onboard the B-24 were lost.
And one special thank you to the medical crew that I had with me that day. They informed me of an unusual noise before I had any indication in the cockpit. This allowed me to have the aircraft (and me) in the best possible position when the engine failed. I credit their professionalism and quick thinking that day as being instrumental in the successful outcome that we had.
Legal disclaimer - Just so that there is no confusion, neither Bell Helicopters, North Colorado Medical Center, or Med-Trans Corp (my former employer and owner of the helicopter) in any way had a part in the failure of the engine bearing. The responsibility for the failure lies solely with Roll-Royce as the manufacturer of the engine. I have heard, but have not been able to confirm as of yet, that Rolls-Royce is redesigning the bearing that failed...which leads me to think that this was not the first to have problems. Or, there was simply a flaw created in that particular bearing in the manufacturing process. Either way, an engine with less than 800 hours of flight time on it should not be coming apart in flight!
Update April 16th, 2011: Just found out that earlier this week, Rolls Royce released a bulletin requiring the replacement of the bearing that failed on me that night. It covers six version of the RR 250 engine, including the C47B model in the Bell 407. Unfortunately, they are only requiring the bearing to be replaced when the engine is removed for other maintenance. IMHO, Rolls Royce should be requiring an immediate replacement of the bearings as a failure of one of them at the wrong time could lead to a fatal accident.

Two huge Trent 556-61 engines hanging off the wing of this giant Airbus..
b>*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Airbus A340 (A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, A340-600)
Manufacturer: Airbus Industries Europe (France/Germany)
Main Role: High capacity, long - very long range mainline jetliner
Basic design: Four engined, double aisle wide body jet. Airframe based on the A300.
Capacity: Roughly Between -200: 260-300 pax , -300: 300-335 pax, -500: 315 pax, -600: 375 passengers
Range: 13800km for A340-200, 12400km for A340-300, 15700km for A340-500, 13700km for A340-600
First delivery date: 1993 (A340-300), 1992 (A340-200), 2002 (A340-500), 2002 (A340-600)
Still in production: No
Easily confused for: Airbus A330, IL-86, IL-96, DC-8, 707
Main idenifying points: Look for the "Airbus" cockpit windows, four engines (small ones on the -200/-300 series, more standard looking larger ones on the -500/-600 series), large upward swept winglets & a classic Airbus tail & tailcone. Other than the 747 and IL86/96 it's one of the few 4-engined wide body jets around. If it has 4 engines and no hump on the front it's more than likely an A340. The IL86/96 is less common and is quite similar in shape but they have a very high pointy tail and a short less pronounced aircone and are flown almost exclusively by Russian airlines. The A340-500/600 both have a 4 wheeled middle undercarriage along wth the ones under each wing. The A340-600 has the longest fuselage of any standard airliner so hard to not identify.
Examples of Main A340-600 Operators: Thai, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, South African,China Eastern en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Airbus_A340_operators
