espionage at high altitude

@perrone1 Thank you Tony.....I just today picked up a gonio halftrack (as recommended by Rich Sufficool ages ago) I`ll have to shoot all three Gonios soon 😀.....hopefully,the European countryside hasn`t been usurped by too many "Chip Beef" franchises

@john-barry Hi, John, what is a Gonio, I've never come across this word and google search came up with some highly questionable responses? Is it your handsome Kubelwagen?

@charles-rockett                gonio is a maker/mfgr of tin (style) toy cars,one of which is the Kubelwagen.....another would be this delight (a schwimmwagen)

Very nice schwimmwagen, and interesting to see it alongside its originator (albeit a later version).  Your mention of tin-type models reminds me of a question I will have to put to our Lounge forum one day concerning largish (1/24?) models that a barber who used to cut mine, and my brothers hair, 50 + years ago used to keep on a very high shelf around the walls of his emporium in Lusaka. But I will have to speak to my brother to get what information he can recall beforehand. They must have been American as so many things, there, were.

@charles-rockett................... what an interesting life you seem to have led Charles

An overdyed study of Colonel Hammerschwatt, chastising Sting just prior to a mission

and finally this debacle....I learned from one of the revered elders here onsite,that my elephant was,unfortunately,an anachronism...we had no solution for it but to sell it,at a loss,to the Gypsies

I like your African Kubelwagen settings and there's this character, below in his pith helmet who I feel should be in Africa too. 

@charles-rockett ............oh yeah, that guy 🤨 ......he`s an official from standards and practices....he seems quite judgmental...always wearing the pith helmet,never says two words to anyone 🤔

Tin X2  may have to make his way to Africa as Cornwall is getting a bit warm for him and Judy/Peggy Walker-Legg; the Chinese contract didn't die with Tu Hung Lo.  Time will tell.

Y`all do realize that I can`t actually put any of my people into old photographs eh?....It aint like we have a magical secret monkey that can make people materialize!!

How `bout this candid shot of Betty Bibbs in Cornwall instead?

@john-barry JayBee, it scares the bejeesus out of me to say this so brace yourself. Could it be possible that sociopath Betty Bibbs, feeling the need to dodge her kidnapping warrant situation in the States, has decided to elevate her criminal status and offer her services to China as a hitwoman to "clean up" the issue that has surfaced in Cornwall?
