Inside an Antonov

 

 

 Holiday photos.


This is the load space inside a Russian Antonov transport plane. 

 
We are on a package tour but, actually, we chose the ship option for our holiday.

 

 

 

 The aircraft is in the Speyer Technic Museum where we managed to time our visit to coincide with a Star Wars convention.

When we departed at 13.30, after a four hour visit, the entrance queue was still two hundred yards long.

 

 


 I think the museum must have made a profit today.

Ignored by Albert Schweitzer

 

The statue of Albert Schweitzer in Strasbourg taking absolutely no notice of the child playing in the water at the side of him. 

 

Perhaps he was gazing at the window in the school opposite.

 

Wot, no rubber?

 

I visted the Technik Museum in Speyer, Germany. Here I found a bicycle used during World War 2 when rubber was unobtainable in Germany. This was their solution. Apparently it functioned well on dirt roads but was a bit of a handful on cobbles.

Calm morning

 

Absolutely no wind this morning as I began my trip out to Bridge to sow some more hollyhock seeds onto the A2 from the overbridge at Higham Court.

 

 

 

The sun was rising but it was still dark under the trees.

 

 

 

 

By the time that I was returning home, the aeroplanes had started their trek across Kent to the Continent.
