Picture(s) of the day....

[Peter.N.]

We had a 440kv transformer delivered to the substation in Hawkchurch in the '70's, a couple of miles from here. They had to strengthen the bridge in Charmouth and widen various places. The tyre marks on the corner of the Crewkerne road and the Hawkchurch road were there for a number of years until the road was resurfaced.

The A35 still went through the Charmouth tunnel at the time, didn't build the by pass until later. I think my son has some pictures, I will try and get one or two.

This came in the post late yesterday It has some truly wonderful pictures in it and the cover picture is one of the best of all

From the archives......My Citroen H van Calendar 2016 assembled from pics on the I spy Citroen H Vans thread
We do one every year of the dog and days out...nice tradition each month to turn over to the next page of the "Ruby" calendar and try to remember where it was taken So easy to do, and when the offers are on such good value for money.

The Goodwood Revival would be an excellent habitat for H Van spotting. I think this must be the one you were talking about Timmo

Well what's significant about the picture above amongst all the other Citroen H Van spots on the thread?

..........Its got the honour of appearing on the on the front cover of my 2016 Vistaprint custom Citroen "H" Calendar

Got to say excellent quality and value. Others making the cut included this one from Edinburgh.

Power lines are flavour of the week. This got featured on Jeremy Vine today

I did catch this little murmuration with my own point and shoot camera back in March this year.

and this members of the FCF POTD Nature Club is what is known as a murmuration. Mainly starlings with a few Jackdaws joining in.

I missed another century passing by with the workload on the Advent Calendar so to mark the passing here is a rather unique motor:

This Hudson is equipped with an inline 6 cylinder engine of 4800cc.

Well done, Ricardo Nasi looks pleased you have selected his car Mick

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

I'm glad about that, it certainly was a hell of a motor in its time in 1929!!
More information here!

Just missed out on the red-glow stage but this is one of the few lights in Northumberland that is a genuine red-glower as it starts up!

Wow That's a rare beaut Neil One to be treasured

[NewcastleFalcon]

Not a weighty enough matter for a call out of the full Trivia Investigation Team but I'll certainly be seeing what I can deduce from this.

next to our red-glower.

I shall be interested to see what the Trivia Investigation Team (I deliberately did not use their acronym ) comes up with on that lamp housing

Meanwhile a bit of winter wonderland from one of my Saturday runs
