One of the inflatable models used to confuse the Germans in 1944 as to where we were going to invade.

Inflatable models these days means something else!

(I swear there was a story behind this photo (Maybe the photo was shared here at some point?) but I cant recall for the life of me what it is)

That photo was taken at the launch of the Fairway Driver, the final incarnation of the FX4, in 1993 according to AROnline

This looks like North Yorkshire - possibly Richmond... but I may be way out. KNL 652 unknown to DVLA.

Interesting take on the Mk2. Different angles, slightly distorted.

[JeeExEll]

Mk1. Check out the tail lights and body lines. A lot like the Mk3 Zephyr and Consul Classic.

Corsair.

Corsair from before they did the '63 Thunderbird' style front end. Looks very plain without it.

The bonnet topline/waistline/rear quarter makes the car look very long....

Interesting fact on these 'ghost' armies prior to D-Day: Because the Allies had cracked the Enigma Code and could decipher all German communications and had also 'turned' German spies in the UK who were feeding significant false information to the Nazis about D Day (the ruse was that this would centre on the Calais area) - these ghost armies were set up to partly hide these two other bits of espionage from anybody snooping about - ie a double bluff. By '44 there was no significant German air reconnaissance over England. It all worked - the Normandy landings were considered diversionary and some German troops were held back for the 'real' attack on Calais - giving the Allies a better chance in Normandy.
