Handout photo issued by Easyart of an experimental flying bicycle as an archive of weird and wacky innovations has been unearthed by an amateur historian as he trawled through a collection of images spanning the last 100 years. Website for posters and art prints, Easyart.com, has begun to sell a selection of the images from Mr Hodge's Stilltime Collection. Businessman Chris Hodge from Chislehurst, south east London, has collected over 250,000 images and is having them all digitally scanned and archived. The eccentric inventions of years gone by include what appears to be an early version of a videophone, an amphibious Lambretta scooter, a Land Rover hovercraft and a bicycle with wings.
