I thought a thread of vintage , planes trains and automobiles would possibly be a good idea.
Here is my opening entrant , the Dakota from the BBMF . When we think of air power we think of the bombers and the fighters, but the ability to deliver troops, materials and yes medicines & food is just as important (IMHO)
I was out walking yesterday, and this was parked literally round the corner:
There was a bloke pottering about on the drive with an old motorcycle engine and he said it was a 1923 Model T. You can just see poking out of his garage this beauty:
He also owns a 1903 De Dion, which I’ve seen puttering around but was currently out for repairs, and a couple of ancient motorbikes that make an outrageous sound as they tootle by. In my ecstasy in discovering the E Type, I forgot to enquire as to the make of the bikes.
Looking at those pics reminds me of this 
Bluebell taken at The Bluebell Railway
All those propeller engined planes must be photos of models (or have engine failure)… 
Or a shutter speed in excess of 1/1250 th of a second
Lovely, two Saturdays in succession last year I went for a walk and was rewarded with the Lancaster flying low.
Very low.
I don’t know if you know the story of how the BBMF nearly got grounded , apparently the pilots were altering their hours (probably only allowed so many) and the fuel consumption didn’t match the hours flown.
Only the RAF would pay people to fly a Spitfire
I took a flight to and from Bulgaria skiing in the same time period…same plane. I was glad to get off, rather unnerving.
And used very effectively by the Omani Air Force .
A plane built to a spec that would have been useful in one or two recent wars
Lovely photo - the conditions have to be just right for warbird photography (and you’ve got to know what shutter speed to use)
indeed - and have an effective pan action. I still need to improve mine…
