Near Paris, Le Bourget Airport features the “French Museum of Air and Space” and the Paris Air Show every second year. The airport is most famous as the landing point of Charles Lindbergh’s historic solo transatlantic crossing in 1927 but these days in only used by business jets.

The museum features numerous air and spacecraft, including real-sized copies of Ariane I (shortest) and Ariane V (tallest) space rockets and the first Boeing 747 that Air France had in service. If you look to the entrance of the museum you can see three “Fuga Magister” planes of the French national aerobatics team mounted at funny angles (ground level photos).

Often incorrectly referred to as ‘London Bridge’, this is in fact Tower Bridge. There’s a story which claims that when American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch bought the original London Bridge in 1968 and had it rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (low-res only I’m afraid), he was under the impression that it was actually Tower Bridge that he was buying.

Tower Bridge isn’t actually named for it’s own towers, but for it’s proximity to the nearby Tower of London, which is the home of the Beefeaters, the ravens with clipped wings and the Crown Jewels. The Tower doesn’t just have one tower though, it has twenty-one!

Also of note in this frame is the HMS Belfast, a floating WWII memorial, and the Greater London Assembly building.

As ever, Wikipedia has loads more information about Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and the giant glass testicle Greater London Assembly building

This is Castle Frankenstein near Darmstadt, Germany, where a notorious scientist named Konrad Dippel supposedly conducted experiments on human bodies… No wonder then, that some people believe Castle Frankenstein may have inspired Mary Shelly’s literary masterpiece, ‘Frankenstein‘.
