The Tucker 48. A guy in the late 40's tried to start his own car company. Had some pretty clever design features, but ultimately the big three pushed him out of business.

I used to drift Fish this river called the Yakima Canyon River some years ago (only catch and release on flies) on the left past the cliffs is some great elk and mule deer hunting also. enter around Cle Elum WA and exit near Yakima WA.
Most of these new builds have come up in the last 5 years.Wow sure has changed since I was there last. 1973
Back then all I wanted to see was the Imperial War museum. Wasn't let down at all. What a place.
That’s still there but all the building and roads have changed a lot over the last 7 years. The RAF museum in Hendon is really good to but often overlooked because it not so central.
That would be nice to see. Kinda lucky here in Western Canada for aircraft displays/museums but ya have to travel. Edmonton has a nice museum with period aircraft that helped open up our north as well as some WW2 models. Wetaskawin about a hour or so has a nice display at the reynolds museum. My favorite fighter (the unsung hero of the BoBritian) The Hawker Hurricane is there. We have a place called Nanton just south of Calgary were they (Society of volunteers) took a Lanchaster bomber off of a static display post and are restoring it to flying condition. yes I got to walk/bent over crawl through it. What a blast definitely put things into perspective when you get to do that. Also got to do a walk in on a B17 that was flying around USA and Canada offering rides and tours through it. Awesome. Just think the balls those flyboys had back then. Imagine a FW 190 flying at you as you pound away with your .50 cal and that very thin sheet of metal seperating you and the outside world. What a shiver that sent up my spine. And the respect I gained for those men back then grew. Good enough to look at things on youtube but to actually crawl in and touch things, was just awe inspiring.
Sorry for the many words but got carried away.
