meanwhile, from back in the days (1968, in this case) when the vacuum tube hifi components were cheap and in low demand, since everyone was clamoring for that smooth, cool, hum-free, instant-on transistor sound.

Yeah, so I have just today learned -- it just struck me as funny that a minivan (especially such an unusual specimen of an old minivan) was licensed as a truck -

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 ‘XV401 / I’ by Alan Wilson, on Flickr
a sad looking Phantom -- but looks like she's bein' restored, slowly but surely.
The photographer has some amazing photos from (mostly British) warbird museums. The Brits take their vintage aircraft for good reason, methinks -- were it not for British (and American) aircraft, the Brits would, umm, not be speaking English in 2020 AD.
Although, I suppose, some would argue that many of them don't really speak English anyway...

oh. come to think of it, @afterburnt's XB-70 photos remind me of a string of photos posted by BWI Airport (Baltimore, hon) on their Flikr account.
Sabreliner Move by Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, on Flickr
Moving a vintage ex-military/Westinghouse (aerospace) Sabreliner from the erstwhile Westinghouse (now Lockheed Martin derp, Northrop Grumman, I can't keep my military-industrial complexes straight!) plant right next to the airport to some exhibition site (EDIT: National Electronics Museum).
I am not sure they stopped at the Mickey-D's, but maybe?
EDIT: I think that's West Nursery Road in the photo... maybe Hammonds Ferry Road(?)

They'd need a long stick to get that order out Doc 😊

That reminded me of an article I read on the Beeb recently.

I figured it was the Hurricane

The Spitfire went after the German fighter escort while the Hurricanes went after the bombers. Team effort.
