i want to share some Pics and thoughts with you for
more Details on LAX which maybe not so known
First i found some Pics from a King Cobra Projekt
with the Time Code "Late 67"
we see the Chassis from a King Cobra rolled out of the Garage but where
on LAX was it ?
because of the rounded Corner and it is a racecar it is cleary
Hangar 9 (Race-Shop) but not from the big Gate at the front,
it is from a little side Gate which can also open ...
2.Pic --- we can see it on front of the Hangar 9, left you see
the Blast Wall and you see a Gas Station (note that for a Moment)
and the finished King Cobra on Riverside 67
i sign it on the LAX Blueprint
The Second batch of Pics was about that Wall in the Backround and
the Gas Station ...
the Wall or better the Building where the Wall belongs to, is build
after May or June 1965 because on the Air Pics from early Production
we cant see it.
somewhere i read that is was because of Energy or better
secure for electricity, but this not sure or proofed at this Moment
the
Gas Station is better to describe and show in pics,
i tryed in correct Timecodes
1965: Ken Miles in Suit
surely not a normal Pic, maybe for Press or Promotion but for what ...
i found nothing for Chevron Gas or something like this.
Only with this Pic it is hard to know where it is on LAX, but note that Huge
Electric Pole Post in the Backround and of course the R-Models in the Backround
Second Pic show the same Gas Station and same Person but from a different angle and the GT350 on a
different position
Timecode later of the First Pic
only some bad black/White Pics but shortly after the first one, same size of the Gas Pump and some stacked wood pallet
now it is easier to locate that Gas Station on LAX, we see the End of the Blast Wall and the Wall/Building
some bigger ones from the same Pic befor
the same timecode but in nicely colour, dont see anything of the Gas Station but you can see that big Pole again
and very nice to see the combination of Blast Wall, Wall and the Corner from Hangar 9(RaceShop) Building/Hangar
1967 the last one is from the King Cobra but you can clearly see different Gas Pump, better view of the wall/Building
and i can count three of this Tarmac/Cement Panels away from the Wall
and finally i do a simple skeetch in this early LAX Bird View
What do you think, tell me your thoughts
Question for me:
because of what Ken Miles wear a Suit and make some Press/Promo Pics Greets from Germany
