Pretty sure I saw similar plates on the coaches of the Lima - Huancayo railway in Peru back in 1972 (when it ran fairly frequently and regularly).

Pigeons used to ride the D stock from Hammersmith at least as far as Sloane Square.

Is this a Russian statue of Constantin Tsiolkovsky and friend? Somewhere in European Russia? Ryazan?

These actions by British forces in Russia are I believe the reason why some UK War Memorials bear the dates 1914 - 1919 (rather than 1914 - 1918).
Is the gun preserved in one of the Baltic States possibly Estonia?

Chris M. Thank you - so I think a Russian gun and the internal explosion explains the enormous damage to the barrel. Are we looking at a Russian or eastern European location here?

I don't recognise the other location but the cannon is interesting. Massive damage. Riveted box section trail. Very light axle and wheels. The recuperator (if that is what it is) is very odd. Is it some sort of converted garrison artillery piece? It is clearly held to be of historic significance.

I was told that when the GLC's Historic Buildings Division was moved out of County Hall to a building off Regent Street the links back to the County Hall computer mainframe were taken through old LCC tramway cable runs. (Also off topic - apologies to the mods).

Didn't both the Shenfield re-electrification and the blue trains in Glasgow have 6.25KV sections where clearances were tight? And an initial series of fires when the switching did not work 100%?

Believe Inset 1 has an inscription in Hebrew above the left hand building - possibly a mausoleum. Not in the UK?
