[This is post comes from a few more old photos that I am transferring over to a new computer.]
Several years ago, I was walking through the countryside (somewhere in Berkshire, near Maidenhead … I can’t remember exactly where) when I rambled past the car shown below:
This car was parked outside a very impressive country estate, replete with a high brick wall over which I could see lavishly ornate gardens and an enormouse house. As I passed closely by the car, I spotted a very concerning sign in the back window:
What?!? Need a pilot or chemical engineer? Huh?!? Was that a question or a statement of a need? Either way, it was particularly alarming. If it was a question, what sort of pilot or chemical engineer advertises in the back of a non-descript beat up old car parked in a quiet lane smack-dab in the middle of the English countryside? If it was a statement of need, what sort of person needs a pilot who can also provide chemical engineering advice. Should I have alerted MI-5? What if the owner of the car had seen me? Should I have jumped into the brush and tried to low-crawl my way back home? What a wierd sign! I sure I hope that I don’t read about this car in the newspapers …
