    There's a nice myth that in the 19th century, a Russian delegation came here to see parliament and the brand new "railway". MPs took them to the nearest station at the time, Vauxhall. When the Russians asked what it was called, meaning the type of building, they got the reply 'Vauxhall'. So to this day, 'vokzal' (вокзал) means railway station in Russian.

    Anyway, I just wanted to see it as it has an unusual design, so @gasman and I went for a mooch.

    They were quite common. The plane was the real bonus (and I was prepared to move it around the shot but didn't need to) - this is all "as is".

    Thank you to those who left feedback - it's appreciated. There's something about metallic reds that can really work well in a image, isn't there..?
  11. Excellent image, shows every type of transport except the bicycle but that does not matter.
  12. Thats excellent and different
  13. Yes very different.
