The Café (There is no Topic)

Well spotted with the varying number of "L".  I found the Wasp online as a double check but didn't absorb its history or age.
I ran out of time doing a reverse image hunt for the bumble bee so thanks for that info. That pilot was certainly a joy to watch.

One thing about some of the locations I was filming from was not hearing the PA, or mostly that the PA was all echos. I did get a few words about the lady who was on the wing. Yes 'walker' was their term. I briefly caught her demounting toward the end of the routine.

I know that bit of sand rather well. And the rate that the tide shifts - a slow shuffle in that part of the Bay. Near that point is a bit of old forrest with tree stumps that occasionally are exposed.

Ah, castor wheels for the folk shifting the beastie around on the ship.  Thanks.  

Whilst not a particular fan of "drones" you have to admit 2500 of them in computer controlled unison and with various colours does make an impressive display.

Wow makes you wonder what they will be able to do in 20 years time

Its not surprising Eric that the get a lot more derailments nowdays as the trains used to be a mile long now the are running train up to 3 miles long, and throw in that like that one they are climbing up mountains on 2.5 grades with all the twist and turns

From the soundtrack something was derailing well before the trucks actually turned over most likely due to the extra drag it caused.
Hopper wagons and rail tanks as considerably more top heavy than simple open trucks. Not surprising they went over first.  

They usually have mid train helper engines on that section of track
