 Hurricane - Photo courtesy Arpingstone, released under Creative Commons licence. A rare and world-first opportunity exists to purchase a piece of war-time history next month. Auction house Bonhams & Goodman announced that it has consigned a fully restored 1940 Hawker Hurricane MkIIA, a former WWII fighter, for its Military and Aviation Collectables auction on 27 September 2009 in Melbourne. One of only eleven airworthy examples worldwide, the Hurricane is a survivor of four major battle campaigns during the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain. She was damaged and repaired several times before being struck by a shell in the winter of 1943 over the Murmansk area of the Russian Tundra. She was recovered from this area in 1991 and Wanaka-based aviation enthusiast, Sir Tim Wallis, purchased the plane a year later. It was Wallis’ desire that the Hurricane be restored to original airworthy condition and Air New Zealand offered to undertake the project. This presented Air New Zealand Engineering Services (ANZES) with a marvelous opportunity to display their capabilities and to restore a historically significant and rare aeroplane in New Zealand.

I stumbled upon this excellent video of steam trains in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England in 1967. Our family lived right next to the main east coast line when I was young and the sights and sounds of these magnificent machines peels back the years. Many thanks to whitleybayname for sharing this footage. You can play the video below and I’ve also added it as a favourite to Time

 1952 Jaguar C-Type Sports Racing Car. An historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type Sports Racing Car driven to victory in 1952 by the legendary Phil Hill goes under the hammer in August. The rare C-Type, designated XKC-007, was one of just 53 examples built and one of the first Jaguar C-Types delivered to the United States. Shipped to New York in 1952, this example was immediately driven to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where it, along with XKC-009, made their competitive racing debuts as part of the company’s North American sales pitch for the model.
