Stagecoach 34627 (KX54 OPB) descends Spinney Hill, Braunston,, working a 12 service to Monksmoor, Daventry on the 30th of September 2017. This scene will soon change, as not only are the autumnal leaves along here falling fast, the Dennis Dart will soon be replaced by a terrible Enviro cast off from Nuneaton, and route 12 is soon to be replaced by D2, which has effectively swallowed up route 12, and will then proceed to Northampton, incorporating the previous Daventry-Northampton Route.
Sunny spots are just starting to open up in mid-February, perhaps spring is just around the corner. First Leeds 35627 at Seacroft with a 16 for Pudsey. What a breath of fresh air this green livery is from what went before.

Baker City Bronc and Bull Riding
Got to spend a little time behind the chutes getting ready for an action packed weekend at this year's Baker City Bronc and Bull Riding, with some of the meanest Broncs, toughest cowboys, and hardest working pick up men we've seen in a long time at Friday night's Bronc riding.
This two day rodeo event in Baker City is held on the 3rd weekend of July each year in conjunction with the annual Miners Jubilee celebration and features some of the best rodeo stock and toughest cowboy’s of any rodeo in Oregon, competing in just two events, bronc riding on Friday and bull riding on Saturday.

After the success of the A-20 Havoc, Douglas Aircraft began design of a successor, with an eye towards an aircraft that also would be able to replace the North American B-25 Mitchell and Martin B-26 Marauder as well. Using the A-20 as a model and drawing on experience with the deHavilland Mosquito as well, famed aircraft designer Edward Heinemann came up with a light bomber design that could be flown by a single pilot. Though similar to the Havoc, the XA-26 Invader had a slightly wider fuselage, larger tail, and laminar-flow wings for better stability in dives. Since Douglas could build on the A-20’s success, testing went smoothly and the US Army Air Force was suitably impressed by its maiden flight in July 1942.
By this time, however, units in the Pacific had demonstrated the lethality of purpose-built low-level attack aircraft with massive forward armament, so the USAAF asked Douglas to develop the A-26 into a strafer as well. Douglas responded with two variants: the A-26B, with a solid gun nose that could carry anything from machine guns to a 75mm antitank gun, and the A-26C, with a glass nose for medium-altitude bombing. The noses themselves could be quickly exchanged to switch A-26Bs to A-26C bombers, and vice-versa. As in the A-20, a crew of three was provided, with the flight crew (the pilot and navigator/bombardier) forward and the gunner in a separate compartment in the rear, controlling both the remote dorsal and ventral turrets. A-26Cs could carry two guns in the nose, but these were deleted in production variants for four wing-mounted machine guns, which were also included in A-26Bs.
Douglas’ commitment to building transport aircraft and the modification of the XA-26A to the B/C dual variant delayed introduction to service until September 1944 in Europe, by which time the A-26 would be operating from newly-liberated bases in France and Italy. Though it arrived late, the A-26s in Europe saw significant action in the Battle of the Bulge and the final drive into Germany, operating mostly as medium bombers and occasionally as night interdiction aircraft. It showed enough potential that, much as Douglas had hoped, it replaced the A-20, B-25, and B-26 in USAAF service, remaining in postwar production.
Indeed, though the A-26 did see World War II service, most of its combat record would be after that war—namely in Korea. The 3rd Bombardment Group, based in Japan in June 1950, saw its A-26s rapidly deployed for Korean service, and undertook the first US Air Force attack on North Korea itself. The A-26 force was quickly augmented by aircraft deployed from the United States, and these undertook bombing sorties in the battles to hold the Pusan Perimeter and in the Inchon invasion. As the Korean War became a stalemate, and due to the interdiction campaign happening in North Korea, Communist forces were forced to resupply mostly at night, and the USAF A-26s in theater were switched to night interdiction operations. These were extremely dangerous in the mountainous Korean Peninsula, to say nothing of the danger from ground fire. Usually, A-26s would operate in hunter-killer teams, with one aircraft using a wing-mounted searchlight to illuminate a target while the other made its attack. A-26s also bookended the Korean War by becoming the last USAF aircraft to attack targets in North Korea, just before the armistice was signed.
By the time of American involvement in Southeast Asia, the A-26 had been redesignated B-26 (this had happened during the Korean War, but it was generally referred to by its former designation). RB-26Cs were among the first USAF aircraft deployed to the area, in 1960, first seeing service under Operation Farm Gate, supporting Royal Laotian Army forces against Pathet Lao guerillas. Later, Farm Gate was expanded to South Vietnam as well and B-26C bombers were deployed for service as well—despite their age, the Invaders were liked for their easy handling and long loiter times, both valuable and necessary in counterinsurgency warfare. (The USAF was not the first nation to use Invaders in Vietnam—the French had used them during the siege of Dien Bien Phu in 1954.)
Age caught up to the force by 1965, and after a number of fatal crashes caused by metal fatigue, the B-26 force was grounded. They were then modified to A-26K Counter-Invaders, with new engines, reinforced structure, and wingtip fuel tanks (and further confusing the matter by readopting the attack designation). Returning to Vietnam in 1966, A-26Ks would remain in service until 1970, gradually replaced by gunship AC-130s, and turned in an excellent performance in the counterinsurgency role. The last A-26 did not leave USAF service until 1972.
A total of 2452 Invaders had been built, and besides its American and French service, others were used in African colonial wars (namely in Angola and Nigeria) and by Indonesia in its invasion of East Timor in 1976, the last time A-26s were used in combat. The CIA also used them in covert operations, especially in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. A good number of A-26s were sold as surplus after the Vietnam War and were subsequently converted to firefighting aircraft. Though most of these have been retired in recent years, it ensured that there would be significant numbers of flyable Invaders left. Today, 96 aircraft remain in museums and in private collections.
Not much can be found about this A-26C, 44-35627. It was delivered to the USAAF in May 1945, so it likely did not see service in World War II. It remained in the postwar USAF, and may have seen service in Korea. At least one source claims this was a JB-26C testbed, used to test new radars and electronic equipment. This sounds plausible, as it was retired in the late 1960s, and was donated to Dodge City, Kansas as a gate guard for their then-new airport. (The former Dodge City airport was used as a training base for B-26 Marauders during World War II; this was as close as the city could get by 1970.)
44-35627 remains on display, though it wore no markings when I got this shot in June 2020; as late as 2011, it was wearing accurate USAF insignia and Korean War-era buzz numbers on the rear fuselage, but inaccurate US Air Force titling on the nose. (The gray scheme is to preserve the aircraft.) When I visited, all the markings had disappeared, so it could be that Dodge City is preparing to repaint it.
Seeing the A-26 is no trouble, as it is on the road to the airport and can be easily seen on US 50 coming in from the west. There is a pullout right next to the aircraft that also has a neat display on the making of the TV series "Gunsmoke." Naturally, this is the least of things to see in the former home of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday...

The point that the Ffestiniog Narrow Guage Railway passes through the village of Tanygrisiau, near Blaenau Ffestiniog in Gwynedd, North Wales.
Tanygrisiau is Welsh for "below the steps", referring to the stepped cliffs above the village. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high quality black slate that was used across the world. The major quarries above the village were Cwmorthin, Wrysgan and Conglog.
Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog where it was shipped all around the world, mostly for use in roofing.
The nearby Ffestiniog power station, the high Stwlan Dam and Llyn Ystradau, colloquially known as Tanygrisiau Reservoir, are part of a pumped storage hydroelectricity installation. Much nearer the railway station is a waterfall on the Afon Cwmorthin and below the falls, and powered by a different water source, is a very small hydro-electric power station.
The closure of the slate mines during the late 1970s led to massive depopulation of the area from which it has only recently begun to recover. Tanygrisiau has close links with the regiment of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

‘Scene in Leeds, ‘First Bus’ 1
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
The use of a mainly green livery in Leeds by the main operator ‘First Bus’ is appropriate being the choice of the original ‘Leeds City Transport’ albeit in a much darker shade.
‘First’ group for the last ten years or so have become a rigid user of a fleet livery which has been described as boring.
Only in recent years has the paint box been opened and a kaleidoscope of colour has been set free.
