Regarding #5, you are right, the R105 was a Russian two-way radio, which I also had to use, by the way. We also had them on the directional radio station that I drove.
I worked on these:

Katharina is the name of this model. She works extensively with photographer Thomas Kruse and there are lots of pictures of her in his DeviantArt gallery. Kruse originally presented her in the name, 'Emelie', and she has worked with other photographers, using the name, 'Chameleon'. Many of her sessions with Kruse took place in Bremen, which is probably her home town.![]()
Sorry my friends, but I was so distracted at the time that I forgot to get her name and number.![]()

I love the look of those old classic American cars with all the chrome tailfins and sleek lights. Nowadays every car looks almost identical and boring, with no character at all

I watch mecum auction on motor sports tv and I agree cars today are boring,I love the look of those old classic American cars with all the chrome tailfins and sleek lights. Nowadays every car looks almost identical and boring, with no character at all
I lament the awful lack of imagination of today's designers. Back in the 50s and 60s, there were so many fabulous design ideas floating around which were exciting and inspiring, unlike today's lookalike parade.
Here's a few nice looking designs from the past, starting with the Lincoln Futura, which became famous for being the basis of the original 1960s Batmobile

Even better looking than this was the Ford Atmos concept car...

Not everything that Ford came up with was perfectly thought out though - the Ford Nucleon concept from the late 50s looked really cool, but that weird round thing in the back is a nuclear reactor. Yeah, Ford thought that everybody would be driving around in their own personal Chernobyl - what could possibly go wrong?

The Plymouth Voyager was a strange one, effectively being two cars in one, with retractable wheels behind that off panel in the middle. It would make an awesome camper though - I could easily fit a kingsize bed in the back of this thing

And finally, my own favorite - the Ferrari Modulo, in my opinion the most beautiful car ever designed. Only one was ever built, for the 1970 motor show, and is now owned by a private collector

Of ourse these were all concept cars and never made it into production, which I think is a real shame - with the possible exception of the Nucleon of course - nobody wants to see Barb driving around in one of those things![]()

And behind the Iron Curtain they tried to persuade us that the glorious Soviet army would protect us in an emergency.Very much reminds me of the 'Duck and Cover' drills we did in grade school in the 50's![]()
