Those US Streamliners are an awesome sight as were/are our own. There's a nice youtube video of "Bittern" in a lovely blue LNER livery on a tour of Cumbria in 2014.Gibbo2286 wrote:If you're railway buffs this might interest you, I've visited twice while in the area, also their Ellicott City branch station museum. http://www.borail.org/
Regards NeilAfter gathering some Moon samples, taking some pictures and raising the American flag, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned to the Lunar Module, only to realise that a switch on a crucial circuit breaker had broken. This particular broken switch left them without a way to ignite the engine, so they tried to sleep while the mission control team at NASA tried to find a way to repair it. Eventually Aldrin decided that enough was enough and jammed his pen into the mechanism creating a make-shift switch. Surprisingly enough this quick-fix worked and launched both Aldrin and Armstrong off the lunar surface.
