@wbuxtonofficial I miss the days of drivers keeping the same iconic helmet colours throughout their career. The “special” helmets every race make them all ordinary.

@robertgraham I’d consider what the other option would mean to me.

@Hush_Kit It’s ridiculous how prescient this was. It’s also really amusing to be able to see a what we’d now call a Materials Scientist played by one of the greatest actors in movie history in the adaption “No Highway in the Sky”.

@lrocket Used to go to the VSCC races at Silverstone in the 80’s and the originality and authenticity varied considerably! Of course, your car is now not too far off the age of those VSCC cars when I was going…

@TurkeyBeaver @SpaceX I was struck on IPO day that it was the 7th anniversary of launching Radarsat, which was the start of our 17 month hiatus at Vandenberg. Incredible to see the cadence the team there have built since 2020!

@kwoade @dieworkwear I’m sorry Geoff, but Yorkshire already has its fashion icon.

@AntCoulls @wabtecuk One of my earliest memories is seeing Sir Nigel Gresley running through Banbury in 1986 in Garter Blue - had a fondness for that loco ever since!

@TurnbullMartin A rare LA photo where 70 years on, the buildings are mostly still there!
