It would be no surprise to anyone that the designer of the Transavia Airtruk (and the Bennett Airtruck), Luigi Pellarini, was also the brains behind the Aerauto PL.5C. It first took to the skies in 1949, but was refused registration as a car due to it being propellor-driven. Only one was ever made.

Was checking out this 1981 video commissioned by the Tasmanian Department of Main Roads, and whoever was responsible for the soundtrack turned a basic educational film into an ominous Oz New Wave gem. Brake in Fright!?

Made famous by its outing in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk was a unique agricultural aircraft. Despite Australian government reticence to support a domestic aviation industry, Transavia manufactured 138 between 1966 and 1993, and had plans for utility and military variants.

This is a great video about game UI and inherent "coolness" -- something which peaked in the PS1/PS2-era and we've never quite matched since, outside of a few isolated examples. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc3D...
