Princess Diana Spencer left of the two wheels? Zoom in.. I love looking over these images because they show us so much detail of what life was like then. I sat for a while wondering what their accents would be like - if they'd changed much. It then dawned on me that they'd speak like our grandparents..

Diana must have had an appointment with the good Doctor (Timelord).

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] ... I think the dead fox hanging around the woman's neck probably didn't get a chance to speak at all!

Jordi Knight Haha bad one! The resemblance is uncanny.. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/114040527@N03] Ah. Poor wee thing - I didn't spot it. Back then it was quite normal for people to own furs (if they had the money). There are businesses around today who back then as extra income would import furs. One business close to me here is very well known for selling fruit and veg but back then imported tons of furs.. I'm saying no more!

It staggers me that they achieved the correct angles and shapes to create a balanced and equal shaped ship like this. They were designed using slide rules and paper yet made them to a very high standard - real skills.
