Sparky should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
What was the gas used to power buses during the war? Tim mentioned 'blimps', but I seem to remember an old photo of a single deck bus with a large canvas 'bag-tank' on top, that carried a vapour-type fuel. Didn't cars sometimes have trailers that produced/contained a very low octane gas - OK on the level but woefully inadequate on hills (passengers had to get out and push!)

What was that gas - Methane? Could it have been a hydrogen plant in those trailers? - how would that work?

Good post Brett!
