Is that from Thunderbirds or Fireball XL5 (which I watched a lot when I was a kid). It doesn't look like Fireball XL5 characters I remember.

Thunderbirds. Both shows were Gerry Anderson productions.

Lumberjacks pose with a Douglas fir tree in Washington, 1899.




Staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci, 1516.
One of the most impressive architectural features of the French Renaissance castle of Château de Chambord is its famous double helix staircase. The design of this element is popularly attributed to the renowned Italian Renaissance polymath, Leonardo da Vinci.




Two very expensive rides.

Delivery of Norwich City Council's First Computer in 1957.




Those are crab eater seal teeth. Scary teeth for a soft fuzzy sea puppy.

A few of John in the early days with his '59 Cab:









And a few from his final tour - a warm evening in LA, outdoors, small venue. Even though he struggled a bit with his surgeries etc, he seemed to have a great time, and I know the audience did too. Sadly he passed not too long after this concert:

I'm wondering if there's one that we can't see in the coil behind the shock.

I can only assume they wanted to "stiffen things up" for load carrying or something. It looks like they left one coil "open."

How long do you think it took for the spring to break adjacent to one of those welded in supports?

I'm seeing this kind of thing a lot.

I'll bet driving this in the rain, or better yet, driving off-road through sand/dirt/mud is a lot of fun with the tires flinging sheiße inside the jeep, on the jeep on the windows, etc....
