Planes, easy - Sunderland Flying Boat. Here painted by Doug Myers (http://www.dougmyers.co.uk)

Train - The Mallard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard)

Love the simplicity of the original Onix audio amplifiers and Meridian CDs/DACs and I have a soft spot for Linn LP12s.

Clothing has to be the dress designs of Giogio Armani, especially his earlier work.

For bookbinding 21st Editions produce some gorgeous looking stuff - http://www.21steditions.com

I think the plain Patek Philippe watches are things of beauty.

I drove down to see the Millau Viaduct shortly after it was built to have a look. A wonderful structure. If I remember correctly as you drove acroos there appeared to be only one tower visible at any one time?

Great list Chris. Streamliner definitely. The camera would be my choice too.

I didn't think I was into design - I either don't buy anything, or it's the cheapest available. However...

I am partial to the Lancaster bomber - especially as one flew very low over my old mobile home when I used to live near Biggin Hill. I love those Airstreams too - there's one on Dungeness and I photographed one being used as a coffee shop on the South Bank the other year. I hate clothes, shoes and handbags with a vengeance
