the vehicles in the movie War Horse
1911 Vauxhall C type
the above bike is the only vehicle that has recognizeable nameplate or logo, it's a Premiere. It is a 1913 Premiere 500cc. The above is a British character, the below are German
the Internet Car Movie database says the above are 1924 Triumph SD
http://www.imcdb.org/movie_1568911-War-Horse.html for the identification
Ever notice that movies seldom show the variety of vehicle relative to the fuel type? No alcohol, steam, or electric, and I doubt I covered the handful of other fuels... they just can't afford the cars or trucks that are that unusual I suppose. Anything that isn't gasoline probably isn't very easy to get ahold of

Just a gust of wind
This misfortunate pilot landed his vintage tri-plane on its nose. The man had been flying the famous Fokker Dreidecker aircraft at the Flying Legends airshow at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambsridgeshire. But when he landed the WW1 fighter aircraft a sudden gust of wind blew it on its nose. No one was hurt in the incident.
