Great photos.
Aston day at Shuttleworth Collection last year was interesting and showed what early flyers went up in.
First moon orbit pretty much pretty much half way between first Bluetooth channel flight and now! Manned orbits and travelling at almost 40,000 kph, orbiters, landing craft and returning 2 or 3 years after that in 1960s technology plus is amazing.

I think the AM F1 unveiling ceremony is this evening.
Live viewing on the internet.
Stand by to count 'ultra luxury''.
More new sponsors have been announced this month.
Incoming money flow continues.
Might soon need a trailer for the F1 car, to provide extra space for so many sponsors names.

Alek Ackerman with his usual enthusiasm.
Valhalla.
Keep your eye on the stool at the reception desk, in the background.
Could that be Sebastian Vettel, making an Alfred Hitchcock type cameo appearance ?

Don't know about Bahrain, but in the UK, I am not sure that we are now supposed to suggest whether someone is; they, it; male; female; bothways; neutral; chap; chapess; or any other gender.
However, taking a chance, I was fairly sure the dude did look and sound like a lady.
Her/his name is Rachel Brookes.
A British television presenter and journalist, currently working for Sky Sports F1.

I know Rachel Brooks and she certainly doesn't have a beard so I stand corrected.

No worries Richard.
I get mixed up all the time these days.
Am still very innocent about such matters.
Can remember listening on the wireless, to Julian and Sandy.
I had no idea, that there was a specific meaning. -
Well the first testing has now concluded and the Aston team appear to have built a very good car. As a minimum it seems to be a good step.forward over last year so we may start seeing some positive media coverage around the AM brand which will be great for the car company
Fingers crossed it holds together in the race coming up.

The big question now.
Will a reserve driver be in the first race?
Have you noticed how extremely rare it is, for an F1 driver to miss any races due to illness.
COVID being different of course, because the testing revealed the illness.
They don't want a reserve driver to have any opportunity, to show they might be faster than the regular.
Lance Stroll is probably the only participant who need not worry about that though.
A seat for life. He might become the oldest driver ever in Formula 1. -
