The only picture of concord flying super sonic 1,350mph taken from a RAF Tornado 1985, the RAF Tornado had to break off after 4 minutes due to fuel limitations concord just cruised on to New York, Engineering at it's very best

I used to work for an American Oil company who had an office in New York and can remember in the 80’s we had a daily parcel of correspondence collected from us in Central London at 3.00pm. It would get on the 5.00pm Concord from Heathrow and arrived at the NY office at 2.30pm

Spectacular photographs of a Canary Wharf skyscraper being completed have been rediscovered more than 30 years after they were taken.
Amid strong winds, Tony Brien sat in a wooden box suspended by a crane some 250m above east London to capture the images of One Canada Square.
Previously believed to have been lost, the photographs were uncovered during a search of Mr Brien's archives.
He said he was "completely staggered" to find the photos from November 1990.
Mr Brien said he had worked on the Canary Wharf project before when he was approached to photograph the "topping out" of One Canada Square.

Hideous fever-dream creation. Seem to remember these being quite wide for a standard car park space too. Ugly and a space-hog!

My mate had one of those in burgundy! We went all over Scotland in it. I called it the icecream van.

They may have been ugly (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) but they were very popular with owners and at the time they were and even clarkson liked it.

The back end is a bit close to the white line. Be a shame if someone misjudged it if they backed in

In Morrisons car park last week.

You would struggle to get a monthly shop in that, nice to see they haven't used two spaces like some idiots do.

Shame they have removed the front number plate, why do these people buy a nice looking car that looks awful once the number plate is fitted.

The Texture of the Sun. Behind all that continuous fire on the Sun's surface, it has a texture that makes it look like an orange! Astrophotographer Arturo Buenrostro spends most of his astrophotography time capturing our star.

In 1987 an estimated 800,000 people flocked to the the Golden Gate Bridge for its 50th anniversary.
The weight of the large crowd caused the bridge to sag 7 feet, flattening its usual convex shape.
Engineer Daniel E. Mohn reaffirmed the bridge was not overstressed as a result of Bridgewalk '87.
