If you’re my age

or older you’ll remember the iconic yellow and blue Duckhams oil cans. Well, they’re coming back because the firm is relaunching a range of oils for classic cars that will come in the old-style cans. Founded by Alexander Duckham in 1899, the company launched the first multigrade in 1951. Alexander was an early aviation pioneer and a friend of crossChannel flyer Louis Bleriot. He also paid for a memorial to Bleriot’s historic 1909 first crossing, placed at the spot he landed in Dover.
