Observed this morning in a field not a million miles from Stonehenge. A Snowtrack Snowmobile, according to its custodian. Every home should have one. At least one.
Late to your thread here Dicky but one of us on PH bought one of those from somewhere north of inverness and brought it down to yorkshire, there is quite a long thread about it. His had the original cabin not the landrover bits though

It makes sense now as we were visiting a place called O'reillys where there is a fantastic forest trail which is where I discovered the Plaque.

Seen on Saturday evening on the A303 near Andover; Venus in line with the moon.

2001 A Space Odyssey it wasn't, but it was still pretty impressive.

The current Maserati Quattroporte is always a fine car to see. Or so I thought. Travelling in the opposite direction to me yesterday on the the M4 was one in Barbie's car pink. That poor car.

Ghibli. Sorry. I saw a Maserati with four doors and lost my sense of reason.

Haha. On the A338. At work, we deliver to the Farm cottages. Was hidden the first time I went there, pitch black! whistle

Excuse the Google maps photo, but this pillbox (?) just outside of Devizes interested me! Haven't properly stopped there to take a look inside yet.

The arrestor hook though unwieldy was effective but it was the cost of a 10 metre high tricycle undercarriage assembly being jettisoned after each aircraft carrier take off that sealed the fate of the De Havilland Sea Venom.

IN MEMORY OF HENRY WEST
Who lost his life in a WHIRLWIND at the GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY STATION READING
on the 24th of March 1840 Aged 24 Years

Seen in the churchyard of St Laurence's Church in Reading in Berkshire, adjacent to Forbury Gardens and the Abbey Ruins. If I remember correctly there is also a plaque to Henry West on Reading Station.

From a couple of years ago:
