From Hell Drivers, 1957. Fantastic film once you get past the comedy speeding up of the driving sequences. Obviously taken between scenes as they are all smiling and there was very little of that in the film itself. Except Sid James, second left, who was exactly the same as he always was. 

And absolute all star cast except it was before they all became stars. Stanley Baker, Patrick McGoohan, Sid James, William Hartnell, Sean Connery, Herbert Lom, Gordon Jackson, David McCallum. 

I can't recommend this film highly enough. One of my top five I reckon. 

Top ten at least, he adds having gone through a few films in my head!

Eliza Deroche at Chalons in her rebodied Mercedes, with Charles Latham doing his best to look casual on the running board. She was the first woman to have a flying licence and Charles was an aviation pioneer - the first to land a plane on water, tried to cross the Channel (twice) and held an altitude record were a few of his achievements.

The Digbeth Flyover, also known as the Camp Hill or the Bordesley Flyover, was a notable feature of Birmingham’s mid-20th-century urban landscape. Constructed over a single weekend in October 1961, it was initially intended as a temporary solution to alleviate traffic congestion at the Camp Hill roundabout, where the Coventry Road entered the city centre. Despite its provisional design, the flyover remained in use for 26 years.

That would have been in the late 1950s when the stub of the line across Portmadoc to Portmadoc New station and the WHR still existed. In the early preservation days the Simplex ‘Mary Ann’ used to be driven across Britannia Bridge to be refueled, because there was a petrol station just out of shot to the right.

The Triumph looks like good value compared to the P6.
