Engine driver manque?

I have just spend the best morning for ages!
We stopped in Heidelberg so I could go to a museum nearby at Sinsheim [Mrs CB went shopping.....].
This museum www.technik-museum.de is unbelievably good, if, like me, you are interested in planes, cars, motor-bikes, railway engines, aircraft and military equipment. Don't switch off dear reader, it really has something for everyone.
For a start, as you approach it you can see a Concorde, plus the Russian equivalent Concordski well 0ver 100 feet up in the air on pylons and with circular entry stairs so you can go inside them, plus lots of other planes both civil and military.
Then you go into the 2 massive exhibition halls full of the most amazing stuff, some nicely laid out, some with so much crammed in it looks like a crazy junk yard. It brings out the small boy in every male, or, in my case nostalgia. There was my Ferret armoured car from when I was a trooper in the Duke of Lancater's Own Yeomanry [TA], here was my chance to get on the foot plate of a steam loco once again, there was the scooter which at the knowledgeable age of 17 I advised my close mate's parents to choose rather than a Vespa, a Zundapp Bella in case you're interested, there was a go-kart like the one I used to race......
I could go on, but won't out of respect for you all.
Being Creweboy my blip has to be of the view fron the footplate.
To keep my female friends from dying of boredom, a pic of some ladies in the display,Glam ladies and finally why the French didn't do too well in WW2. All the other tanks had guns and were very large. French armour
