Danville, California, United States
Flap Position Indicator, General Electric DJ-17ABE Boeing B-50 SuperfortressThis is a vintage Wing Flap Position Indicator made by General Electric Type DJ-17 Model 8DJ17ABE, as appeared in the Co-Pilot's Panel on the post WW2-era Boeing B-50D Superfortress Very Heavy Bomber. See photo of the Co-Pilots Panel of a B-50D from its flight manual, showing the position of this indicator with a red dot. Not yet confirmed, but this may have also been used on the Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter and KC-97 Stratotanker since they are brethren to the B-50 and shared many technologies.
The instrument is in exceptional condition for its age. The dial markings are clear and the glass and case are intact. See photos. This would be a very cool addition to your collection, or for that B-50 that you are building in your garage.

Volkswagen at the Paris motor show 2008
Thu, 02 Oct 2008By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 02 October 2008 10:16 Volkswagen is calling it a concept, but its new Golf GTI study is pretty much the real thing. Bar a few minor tweaks, what you see here is what will start rolling out of Wolfsburg in spring 2009. And to keep the eco brigade happy, VW also showed its new Passat BlueMotion II that comes with some astonishing economy figures.

GM gets behind Vauxhall & Opel by dropping Chevrolet in Europe
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Cars like the Chevrolet Trax (pictured) will disappear from the UK in 2015 GM has seemed to be fighting a battle with itself in the UK and Europe by marketing a broadly similar range of cars under the Vauxhall and Opel badges in the UK and Opel and Chevrolet in Europe. But unlike the VW Group, which manages to offer very similar cars from VW, SEAT and Skoda and create a different customer base, GM seems to have failed to make the marketplace work with Opel and Vauxhall competing with Chevrolet. So Chevrolet are on their way out in Europe.
