No, it isn't a still of Doctor Who taken from an episode where Dalek creator Davros returns. This photo shows Sol Squire of data archive company Data Íslandia, with The Data Scooter, a ruggedised container for physically shipping terabytes of data out to the firm's Iceland-based datacentre.

What Sneak would like to know is whether the Data Scooter is very large, or whether Squire is particularly diminutive. And why does he appear to be sitting in it?

Whatever the answer, it certainly looks tough enough to survive even an air accident, so Sneak would also like to know whether the container can be obtained to carry luggage on ordinary passenger flights. Let's see the ham-fisted baggage handlers at Heathrow try to mangle that up.
