This is the vehicle, the Mercedes Electric Lorry, which saw one on the A41 in Shropshire with no engine noise— ultra quiet for an artic— very spooky.

Looking forward to your next video, the trials and tribulations of the Messerschmitt 210 and 410. Presumably you got to Cosford. You’ve got to love the museum’s sense of humour sticking next to the Mosquito saying total amateurs this is a fighter-bomber.

Hope it includes the first flight with goblin engine and the fast one with the "Metropolitan-Vickers F.2" was the first British axial-flow turbojet engine. It was developed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and Metropolitan-Vickers and was initially installed on a Gloster Meteor F.9.

If you get to Cosford they have a few similar toys. Including VICKERS VALIANT B (k) Mk.I XD818/7894M that dropped it.
