1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I built in Springfield, Massachusetts and bodied by Brewster in New York City. It was built for one M. Allen Swift, who owned it for 77 years, donating it to the RR museum in Springfield two months before his death in 2005 at the age of 102.

Earlier I heard a helicopter go by out of sight with an unusual light fluttering sound but then sounded more like a light aeroplane as it flew away which seemed odd
It then flew back over later, one of these I think. It sounded odd as you don't often see piston engined helicopters these days.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish Minister of Defense:
"We are not dying for our freedom, but someone is dying for our security. Because the border of Polish security today lies on the Ukrainian-Russian front."
He emphasized that supporting Ukraine is in Poland's interests.

I fancied buying something a bit lighter than my usual so I picked up Lynyrd Skynyrd's God and Guns album. I'd give it a 3/5, listenable, not awesome but not much that's awful either. This stands out for me, all sorts of echos of other songs here and it works nicely.
