The (sedentary) K8


The German polymath Goethe wrote that when you set out to pursue any grand vision, the whole universe conspires to advance your aims.

Having discussed K8 telephone boxes earlier today ~ and after breaking from the project to take the Fokkers for a drive in the unseasonable sun ~ what do we discover on arrival than a lovingly-preserved box of this type?

It illustrates the point we examined earlier, about how such boxes were glazed on only three of their sides and how the flying phone-box will be arranged to look quite the same.

The panel at the rear will therefore form the avionics bay, beside showing direction of travel.

Cushty.
