Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero BII-I24, Pilot Unknown, 2nd attack wave fighter escort, 1st aircraft to launch, IJN Carrier Hiryu, Pearl Harbor Raid, 7th December, 1941 Even before the first attack wave had hit military facilities on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu at the commencement of the Pearl Harbor raid, the second of three planned attack waves were already taking off from their home carriers, which were steaming through the Pacific Ocean. Still unaware of what opposition they would be facing, this second attack wave consisted of 35 Mitsubishi Zero fighters, 78 Aichi Val dive bombers and 54 Nakajima Kate bombers, some equipped with torpedoes. The primary mission of the Zero fighters was to protect the strike aircraft from potential US fighter attack, but if opposition proved to be light, their secondary task was to strafe the airfields on the Island, destroying as many US aircraft as they could on the ground. Additional Zeros were retained to perform combat air patrols, protecting the naval task force from possible attack. Although the pilot of this particular Zero is unknown, it is thought that this fighter was the first aircraft to take off from the second attack wave on the morning of 7th December 1941 and is unusual because the last numbers of its tail markings cannot be seen, as it appears to have recently required the replacement of its rudder. It carries the two blue stripes which identify this as a fighter from the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Hiryu, part of the Second Carrier Division.

Morris Motors was founded in Cowley, Oxford, in 1913 when bicycle manufacturer William Morris launched his first car, the Oxford 'Bullnose'. In order to celebrate their Diamond Jubilee, Morris produced a special edition Marina 1.8 TC 4-door costing £1,500, which was £362 more than a standard TC. One was supplied to every BL dealer in the UK for the M registration of 1st August 1973. All were in a new colour, 'Citron' and featured a black vinyl-roof, black door-mirrors, dual-layer black pinstripe, navy blue cloth seats, Sundym glass, front fog lights, citron-trimmed grille, side repeaters, and 'Jubilee' wing badges. The Marina Owners Club believes only 5 roadworthy examples of the 2000 produced remain. The 'Jubilee' modelled is owned by Sussex-based enthusiast Paul Viney who restored it over a 3 year period ending in 2010. He was inspired to do this because, when he was a child his Uncle, Keith Best, had bought a new Marina Jubilee in 1973 and Paul had loved it. He was subsequently given his Uncle's car as a surprise present on his 16th birthday and, after some work, put it on the road on his 17th. He passed his test 4 months later and, sadly, wrote it off after only 11 days. Twenty years later Paul decided to find and restore a Marina Jubilee and his immaculate current car, which has the Leyland Special Tuning steering wheel off the original, is the result.

Built on 4th May 1965, the Morris Cooper modelled was ordered by BMC dealers Wadhams Limited of Chichester and registered on 12th May 1965, to first owner Mr Chris Gow. In 2011, Nuneaton-based engineer Sam Goodwin purchased the, by then, dismantled car as a rusty bodyshell and boxes of parts. He embarked on a supremely detailed restoration, which included checking original drawings to ensure spot-welds and panel joints were done exactly as factory, and placed the completed car in the Silverstone Auctions' sale of July 2013. It was purchased by Richard Wright from Surrey, Chairman of Caffyns plc; a company which were, during the 1960s, one of the world's largest distributors of Morris cars. Sam Goodwin, an experienced restorer, took two years to complete this exacting restoration because the bodyshell was so badly corroded. Excepting the roof and both the front and rear bulkheads, every panel was either repaired or replaced. The engine was rebuilt but the car's paperwork showed the cylinder head had already been ported and polished by well respected tuners Janspeed so this was retained and fitted with unleaded valve seats. The interior was re-trimmed by Suffolk and Turley using Newton Commercial's kit while the paintwork was carried out to a very high standard by M&S Accident Repair, Nuneaton. The bodyshell was then injected with cavity wax. The only modification was the fitment of Cooper S brakes and wheels to improve the handling and braking. Engine: 998cc 4IL OHV; Power: 55bhp@5800rpm; Torque: 57lb.ft@3000rpm; 0-60mph: 14.8seconds; Maximum speed: 90mph; Unladen Weight: 1440lbs.

The Mini Van was used by the UK military in a huge variety of transportation roles. Being economical, reliable and surprisingly capacious meant it was ideal for use on large RAF airfields where its lack of ground clearance wasn't an issue. The example modelled was used by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, 'The Red Arrows', in a general transportation role in the early 1970s when the legendary display team were based at RAF Kemble, Gloucestershire, their home between 1966 and 1983. At this time they were still flying the Folland Gnat, which they used from being formed in 1965 until it was replaced in 1980 by the BAE Hawk they still use today. In 1964 the Royal Air Force amalgamated its three aerobatic display teams into one premier unit, 'the Red Arrows'. The name was taken from the Black Arrows team and the colour scheme was a tribute to the Red Pelicans. While the aircraft chosen to be flown, the Gnat, had been used by the Yellowjacks. The quality of their displays have become famous the world over and becoming a pilot in the Red Arrows is extremely prestigious. To apply for selection RAF pilots must have a minimum of 1,500 flying hours, have completed a front line tour and be assessed as above average. Every year nine applicants are rigorously tested and three are chosen to replace those that have finished their three year tour.

The Minor modelled was completely rebuilt in 2005 by well known Morris Minor specialist Charles Ware of Bristol for its then owner. It has been owned since January 2016 by its seventh custodian, Kent-based enthusiast Steph King, who purchased it from well-known dealer Garry Shortt of Classic Chrome Ltd. She named the car Mabel after her Great Aunt and uses it regularly. Whilst being restored it was fitted with a 1275cc version of the original 1098cc BMC A-Series, engine connected to a Ford Type-9 5-speed gearbox and uprated brakes. The resulting car has retained the Minor's original character but with significantly improved performance, making it more suitable for modern traffic conditions. Maroon 'B', was introduced in 1968 so Convertibles in this shade are rare as the last one was made in June 1969. The open-top Minor was initially called the Tourer and had lift-out side-screens, but from June 1951 integral glass rear windows were added and it became known as the Convertible. The example modelled was built at Morris' Cowley Plant on January 3rd, 1969 and despatched to Morris' London agent, Stewart and Ardern Limited, of Morris House, Acton, on January 7th. Stewart and Arden were Morris' first customers, placing an order off blueprints for his proposed new car in 1913, and grew with Morris to become the largest car dealership in the UK after they opened the large Morris House premises in 1926. Engine: 1098cc 4IL OHV; Power: 48bhp@5100rpm; Torque: 60lb.ft@2500rpm; Maximum speed: 74mph 0-60mph: 24.8secs; Standing 1/4 mile: 22.8 secs.

The Morris Minor was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, Britain's first since the cessation of hostilities, alongside another legend the Jaguar XK120. In its original form, it used a 918cc side valve engine and its headlights were mounted low in the grille. Foreign market legislation forced the lights up into pods on the wings in 1951 and then when Morris Motors merged with Austin in 1952 to create BMC, the Minor received the Austin-designed 803cc A-Series engine. This was updated to create the 'single screen' Minor 1000 in 1956. The Minor was Alec Issigonis' first complete car design and possessed extremely surefooted handling which was many years ahead of its competitors. Engine: 948cc 4IL OHV Power: 37bhp@4750rpm Torque: 50lb.ft@2500rpm Maximum speed: 73mph 0-60mph: 25.9 secs Produced: 1,303,331 (all Minors).

Extensive government research into policing procedures led to 'Unit Beat Policing' (UBP) being rolled out across the UK during the late 1960s. Conceptually this was a big change as police officers, who had previously walked a 'beat' over a given time period, now drove between different areas walking for a while before driving to the next. This led to the introduction of the 'Panda Car', so named because it featured white panels on a blue car. These were usually small, economical cars such as the Minor. The example modelled was one of The Lothians and Peebles Constabulary's (L&PC) initial batch of twenty UBP cars, all Minors, supplied by Hall Brothers of Musselburgh. Engine: 1098cc 4IL OHV; Power: 48bhp@5100rpm; Torque: 60lb.ft@2500rpm; Maximum speed: 74mph; 0-60mph: 24.8 secs; Produced: 1,303,331 (all Minors).

The Morris Minor was launched at the first post-war British Motor Show which was held at London’s Earl Court in October 1948. With various updates and a change of engine in 1952 it remained in production as a saloon until November 1970 and in Light Commercial Vehicle form until April 1971. The car modelled was built on August 25th, 1970, making it one of the last produced, and was despatched to Wadham Stringer Limited, Reigate, Surrey, a well-known Morris distributor. Current owner Sharon McCallum bought Molly, as the car has long been called, by accident in August in 2014 after going to view it in Hailsham for a friend who later changed their mind. Devon-based Sharon is a life-long Minor enthusiast who’d wanted one since travelling in her Great Uncle Fred’s Almond Green example, which was the first car she travelled in as a child and was later purchased by her brother. Molly joined her Trafalgar Blue saloon, (Hamilton) and the Damask Red van (Harvey Major), she uses for her Trombone repair business. Sharon met husband Dennis Saupe while on a ‘Minors on Tour UK’ event in 2016 and a year later the couple embarked on a month long 3500-mile touring holiday from Land’s End to John O’Groats in Molly, which included many sightseeing diversions and a stop at Gretna Green to get married. Molly never missed a beat and is much loved as a result. The Morris Minor was launched at the first post-war British Motor Show which was held at London’s Earl Court in October 1948.

The British Motor Corporation was created in 1952 by the merger of long time competitors Austin and Morris leaving many towns with competing dealers franchised to sell only two or three of their now six marques. Chairman Leonard Lord devised the concept of 'badge-engineering' the 1959 1.5-litre Farina styled Austin A55 Mk2 Cambridge into five different versions (Austin Cambridge A55 MK2, Morris Oxford Series V, Wolseley 15/60, MG Magnette Mk3 and Riley 4/68) so every dealer had a vehicle to sell to their often brand-loyal customers. The whole range was updated and restyled in late 1961 and remained in production until 1971 by which time over a million of all types had been produced. Sold new in late 1961 by Knavesmire Garage in York, 4771 DN is one of a small number of early Oxfords made in this distinctive hue with no mid-line chrome strip. It returned to the dealer as a used car in 1967 and was loaned to the garage's workshop-foreman, Bob Turner, for his family's summer holiday to Reighton Gap Caravan Park. His car-mad son, Steve, then 5, was impressed by the 'salmon pink' car, the first Oxford he'd ever travelled in and has retained that youthful passion; becoming one of the UK's leading restorers of the type and Secretary of The Cambridge-Oxford Owners Club. Sadly it is believed 4771 DN was scrapped in the early 1970s and no other Deep Pink Oxfords survive.

Who the driver is we may never know, but every time this blue Reliant Regal encounters Mr Bean's Mini it always comes off the worst. Whether it's being run off the road, bumped out of car parking spaces or just constantly being toppled over, the driver of this Reliant Regal may be the closest Mr Bean ever comes to having a nemesis.... if our hero ever paid attention to it long enough to realise it's always the same car!

Aside from Teddy, this Austin Citron Green 1977 British Leyland Mini 1000 is Mr Bean's most treasured possession.... though he often isn't very careful with it. Fitted out with a foolproof security padlock system on the driver's door, this release of Mr Bean's Mini will be the most accurate iteration produced. The rear lights have been colour corrected and the interior seats are now as true to real life as we can make them! The model is also being produced in all new celebratory packaging for the 30th anniversary of his first appearance on television screens.

It's never easy to resist the January Sales, but when you're Mr Bean, you own a Mini, and you buy too much, improvising is always the key. While the interior may be stuffed with bargain purchases, the only solution available to Mr Bean is to modify the car to drive it home seated in a new armchair carefully installed on top of the roof. A complex system of ropes, pulleys, broom handles and bricks all work brilliantly, until the unfortunate appearance of a hill on the journey home....

One of the eight pre-production New Bus for London prototypes which were trialed in February 2012, Arriva LT2 was the first New Routemaster that took on paying customers, and it’s first journey took on London’s busiest route, route 38. In it’s standard red livery it carried the registration LT61 BHT, this was changed in 2013, when Transport for London decided to re-register all it’s prototypes to the same registration we see today with the LTZ Letters. Now known as LTZ 1002, in 2014 it was painted its green base colour and trailed to Arriva West Yorkshire, it was there for 2 years and was then brought back to London where it was adapted to the commemorative livery of London Country Bus Services, echoing the original RM2 Protoype Routemaster that carried the same colour scheme back in its trials of the London country area in 1955.

Formed on January 1, 1859, the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) was an amalgamation of the many independent horse-drawn omnibus services that were then operating in London and, by nationalisation in 1933, was the largest operator in London. The deregulation of London bus services during the 1980s led, in 1989, to London Transport creating a series of bus operating companies with names of geographic or historic significance to the capital, including London General Transport Services Limited. The new London General was initially privatised by management buy-out, but was subsequently acquired by the Go-Ahead Group in May 1996, becoming the largest bus company operating in London. The London General Heritage livery harks back to the Edwardian heyday of the LGOC and is represented here on LTZ 1050 operating on route 88, the former 'Clapham Omnibus' route running from Camden Town to Clapham Common via central London to which New Routemasters were introduced on August 22, 2015.

Derived from the former London United Tramways, operator of trams and trolleybuses in west and south west London, London United commenced operating on 1 April 1989 as one of the twelve operating subsidiaries of London Buses, prior to privatisation. In 2009 Transdev were in negotiations to merge with Veolia Transport and as part of the resulting agreement it was agreed that the RATP Group, a minority shareholder in Transdev, would take over some of Transdev's operations, resulting in London United transferring to the RATP Group. Route 10 commenced operations on August 13, 1988, just prior to the formation of London United, replacing the old Route 73 and operating between Kings Cross and Hammersmith. Between February 2003 and January 2010, Route 10 was operated by First London but then reverted to Transdev/London United operation until November 23, 2018 when, as part of a programme reducing the number of bus routes traversing Oxford Street, route 10 ceased running. LTZ 1148 carries Fleet No. LT148 in the RATP Group's London United bus company fleet, joining from first registration on February 1, 2014 and operating from Stamford Brook Garage once the Wrightbus new Routemasters were introduced to the route on April 26, 2014. LTZ 1148 operated over Route 10 until the TfL rerouting to serve Russell Square station on June 25, 2016, at which time the vehicle was switched to Route 9.

Wright’s New Routemasters were officially introduced to Route N8 on 28th June 2014, although LTZ 1406 did not enter service with Stagecoach London until 13th March 2015; its first appearance on the night route coming on 15th March, with the 01:30 service. The N8 commenced operations on 13th August 1988, at that time running between Bow Church and Queensbury Station, with Leyland Titans operating out of Bow Garage and over the following years a number of stops were added and withdrawn. Hainault was added to the route from 26th June 2004 and London Victoria removed on 27th June 2009, creating the current sixteen mile route running between Hainault, The Lowe to Oxford Circus, Holles Street, scheduled to take 69-94 minutes
