<p>A rather fine small format card folder issued by the BEA Sales Development department for members of the BEA &quot;Executive Club&quot;; I suspect this is why this is pocket sized and on stiff card to both give a feel of quality and durability.<br />
<br />
It shows the stamp of BEA's 1960's corporate identity developed by designer Mary de Saulles whose 'red square' identity came into use c.1958 - 1960 and included all elements of the company's fleet and publicity. Undated this shows, rather well, the tail of a BEA Hawker Siddeley Trident and this aircraft, an early tri-jet, came into service with BEA in 1964.</p>

<p>The massive driving wheels and precision-engineered connecting rods of The Waco, Beaumont, Trinity, &amp; Sabine Railway #1 demonstrate the mechanical artistry of steam locomotion. Now preserved at the Galveston Railroad Museum, this historic engine once linked Texas coastal commerce with inland industries, embodying the railroad's crucial role in the state's economic development during the early 20th century.</p>

<p>Uçhisar<br />
Turkey<br />
<br />
Uçhisar is a town  in the Nevşehir District, Nevşehir Province in Cappadocia.<br />
Situated on the edge of Göreme National Park, Uçhisar consists of an old village huddled around the base of a huge rock cone and a new one closer to the road that runs from Nevşehir town to Göreme. Like most of Cappadocia, Uçhisar once made a living from agriculture but now depends almost entirely on tourism, with many of its fine old stone houses turned into boutique hotels. French incomers and Turks returning from France have played a large part in the move to convert the houses into hotels.<br />
<br />
Uçhisar means &quot;outer citadel&quot; in Turkish and refers to the huge rock cone that is its central feature.<br />
Uçhisar is dominated by a 60-metre-high 'castle' which is actually a rock formation visible over a wide distance. Uçhisar Kalesi (Uçhisar Castle) is crisscrossed by numerous underground passageways and rooms, which are now mostly blocked or impassable but which served as residential areas and, perhaps, cloisters in Byzantine times. Perhaps around 1,000 people once lived in the castle although it is no longer inhabited today. It is open to the public and offers fine views from its summit.<br />
Many fairy chimneys can be seen in and around Uçhisar, One of them houses a Jandarma (police) post.</p>
