On a side note, it's hard to avoid thinking that Bennie was inspired to create his railplane by a ride installed in Kelvingrove Park for the 1911 Glasgow International Exhbition consisting of airship-shaped gondolas flying across the River Kelvin suspended below an aerial track.
A 119 metre long experimental track was built in Milngavie in 1929 (on the current site of Kelvin Timber). While a fully operational line was proposed between Glasgow and Edinburgh, it failed to attract enough financial backing and in 1937 Bennie was declared bankrupt.

This plaque on Main Street in Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow marks the site of George Bennie's remarkable, but experimental, Railplane.
Invented in the 1920s, this was a zeppelin-shaped carriage suspended from an overhead track and powered by propellers. The aim was to create a two-tier railway with slower freight trains using the ground level track, with faster passenger railplanes flying above them.
Cont./
In case anyone is wondering, even after the recent clean up of the site, this plaque is still in place in ruins of the North Woodside Flint Mill (AKA the Glasgow Sherbet Municipal Works) in Glasgow. It's one of the best of Glasgow's surprising number of none-to-serious unofficial history plaques.

These are propaganda plaques of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia that I photographed at the Manado Tax Office. The first plaque is about how the state uses tax money in the state budget and the second plaque is about five values of Ministry of Finance..
