MINI COOPER Mk. 1 (1964)
In 1956 Sir Alec Issigonis was commissioned to develop a
small and economical family car with space for four persons and their luggage.
To achieve this he used a transverse front engine with the gearbox located
under it. This completely new and absolutely revolutionary concept was an
enormous space saver. Consequently every cm of room in the 3 m long MINI was
used and the relation between size of interior and external dimensions was
unique and unequalled. The sporty version of the MINI bore the name of the tuner
John Cooper. With over 39,000 sold, the MINI Cooper Mk. 1, which delivered 55
hp and a top speed of 143 km/h, was the most successful Cooper variant.

MINI Cooper (modern, 2000)
The new MINI with its round headlamps, striking radiator
grille and curved rear reflects the typical features of its English
predecessor. This stylistic influence is also expressed in the interior, in
particular in the very large speedometer and rev-counter. In this sporty
three-door car, the characteristic design of its legendary ancestor makes a
familiar, but at the same time a very modern impression. Ultra-modern
technology and up-to-date comfort dominate the inner workings of the MINI,
which is served by disc brakes, five speed gearbox and electronic stability
programme. The 115 bhp Cooper has a 1.6 litre engine, front wheel drive and, as
shown in the model, also has a chrome radiator grille.

The F-16 is still one of the most successful combat aircraft
in the world. In the mid-1990's a Mid-Life Update (MLU) modernisation program
was started with the aim of uprating the European F-16's combat effectiveness.
In 2009 the Dutch Air Force prepared a F-16 (MLU) in a very attractive livery
for solo displays. The aircraft was given an orange / mother-of-pearl base
colour with a red lion motif in very eye-catching colours to present the
Netherlands at Air Shows. This aircraft is so popular that it is still performing
the complete flying program during 2013. J-015 was stationed at Leeuwarden and
is currently based in Volkel.

With the appearance of the Corvette C5 General Motors
decided to set up a works team and take part in all sports car races throughout
the world, but primarily in the prestigious Le Mans 24 hour races. In 1998 they
started to develop a racing car similar to the production version, which was to
become one of the most successful GT racing cars.
In 2003 the Corvette racing team achieved various Class wins
in the American Le Mans series. The quality of the coordination and preparation
of the 610 hp C5-R was proved by the so-called 50th anniversary edition in the
dark blue livery, also at Le Mans. The team of drivers starting under no. 50
secured 2nd place in the GTS Class, directly followed by the C5-R under no. 53.

For the movement of supplies to troops on the battlefield,
the Federal German Army uses high mobility off-road vehicles. At the end of the
nineteen seventies MAN introduced the Lkw 5 t mil gl which, due to its
all-wheel drive (4x4) and free-moving axles meets the requirements and is
therefore one of the best trucks of its class in the world. With its 256 bhp V8
engine it can reach a maximum road speed of 90 km/h.

The SPAD XIII is one of the Allies most successful fighter
aircraft of the FirstWorld War. After faults were eliminated in the spring of
1918 this sturdily built aircraft possessed very good dive characteristics and
was fast and agile at altitudes above 1000 meters (3000 ft). The SPAD XIII was
powered by the new Hispano-Suiza engine, a water-cooled in-line engine
developing 220 bhp and was able to reach 2,000 meters (6000 feet) in 5½
minutes. Its armament consisted of 2 Vickers MG. Nine French factories produced
around 7300 of these aircraft. In total 80 French fighter squadrons and 15
Squadrons of the U.S. Air Force equipped with the SPAD XIII stood opposite the
German Air Force at end of the War.

The eighth generation of the Chevrolet® Impala came out in
1999. This mid-range car was very successful in the USA and, like other
Chevrolets in the past, was offered with a specially developed police package.
The Impala differs from older full-size saloons in that it has smaller
dimensions, so that the car is essentially lighter to steer and control.
However it still offers ample space for both the policemen and their
'passengers' in the separate rear compartment. Unlike the civil version, it has
a reinforced chassis and the large, 203 hp, 3.8 litre, V6 engine giving it a
top speed of 216 km/h and acceleration of 0 to 100 in 7.2 seconds.

With the Class 212 A submarines the Federal German Navy has
available to it the most up-to-date conventional type of submarine, equipped
with state-of-the-art technology for long-duration almost silent travel. This
submarine is the first in the world to be equipped with an ultra-modern
hydrogen fuel cell engine and can operate submerged for weeks independently of
external air without needing to come to the surface. The fuel cells are used
for long-duration operations at moderate speeds, while the diesel-electric
engine with batteries is used for high-speed manoeuvres. The submarine is
powered by a newly-developed sickle-shaped propeller. During development the
highest priority was placed on reducing the acoustic, magnetic and radar
signatures. The armament includes the newly developed heavy-weight Seehecht
torpedo that is launched from six torpedo tubes. The submarine is expected to
travel at speeds of ca. 10 knots surfaced and ca. 20 knots dived. Weight: 1,450
t.

The Vought Corsair was one of the most unusual but also
successful naval aircraft of World War 2. Feared by her Japanese opponents who
nicknamed her the Whispering Death she fought her way across the Pacific sky's
during 1943-1945, scoring record-braking successes: 2140 enemy aircraft
destroyed against 189 own losses. The combined fire-power of the Corsair
consisted of six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns. Her characteristic bent wing
gave it a prominent recognition feature for Ground Forces which called her the
Sweetheart of Okinawa . The F4U-1A was the first production lot with many
modifications. Top speed 671km/h (416 mph)
