		Another popular venture of the Ottawa Electric Railway was the opening of a pavilion at Britannia Bay where band concerts on summer evenings brought very large crowds of passengers in the cars.
		In the early days before motor cars came into being, the company built a summer playhouse in the west end of the city "which at that time was very suburban and necessitated transportation by streetcar".
		They ran for a short period, then the streetcars again took over.

	Men who sparked the ignition
		Other early ventures also failed to achieve success: the Britannia Company of Colchester was a successful maker of lathes and engineering equipment and their 1896 catalogue listed a range of "Facile" motor carriages powered by their single-cylinder "heavy oil" engine, though it seems that only electric carriages and bathchairs were actually made.
		But when Lawson, who had made a considerable fortune floating heavily over-capitalised companies on a gullible public, acquired Simms' company at the end of 1895, he relaunched it as a company whose purpose was the manufacture of motor cars.
		Cars were certainly sold under the "Daimler" banner that year, but these were Continental imports: the first British-built Daimler didn't reach eager customers until early in 1897.

		According to Fred, made particularly welcome will be sports cars which featured in the 1920s & 1930s Ards and Donington TT races.
		September next year will witness the inaugural Tour Britannia, an event which, in some ways, revives the concept of the hugely popular but short-lived 1970s Tour of Britain.

	The Hillman Car Club of South Australia (SA)
		The picture books overall show several different cars in several parts of the world, so they appear to have accompanied the royal couple on the very new Royal Yacht Britannia.
		Clearly identifiable in the picture books are two Humber Super Snipes — a 1953 model and a 1948 model (as near as the experts can tell me), a very recent model Daimler, and a Land Rover which was photographed in Jamaica, New Zealand, Tasmania and mainland Australia.
		The Royal Visit was originally planned for 1952 — by King George VI and his wife.

	The MadCow Morning News
		In the brouhaha which followed it was learned that Britannia Aviation was a dummy front company which nonetheless had friends in high places not just in Lynchburg but in Venice as well.
		His father owned Sam’s Wholesale Cars (about which more later).
