  1. I love the old art-deco Douglas logo. I have a wood box with that logo on it. The box was used by my Dad to carry his metal tool box back & forth--on a DC-3-- from the Santa Monica Douglas plant to White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico when he worked on the captured German V2 rockets & also to Florida's Cape Canaveral to launch the first rockets from what later became the Kennedy Space Center.

  2. Love the rear view mirror. But I don't see any turn indicators? 🤔 Who knows what iconic plane this is? I know my Dad's fingerprints are likely in it somewhere.

  3. The #UK #government has announced £7.3 million for eight projects to support the development of zero-emission #aviation, including hydrogen-powered #aircraft and electric planes that could be used for future air taxi services. Part of a wider £43 million investment in next-generation aviation technology, the funding will help develop airport infrastructure such as hydrogen storage and electric charging systems. Projects involving Beta Technologies and Vertical Aerospace will test how new aircraft can operate at commercial #airports. The government says the investment will support jobs, economic growth and its net zero by 2050 target. It follows further backing for #hydrogen research, drones, sustainable aviation fuel and aerospace innovation to help reduce emissions across the sector.
