Exploring one neighborhood while it's cold (-20c) and dark. There was plenty of light so the exposure was just for one second
And yes, even if it's full of apartments, we still fill the area with trees :)

G-BOPJ : Boeing 737-46B : Novair
Previously operating as Cal Air, this airline existed under the Novair name for only 15 months, from January 1989 until its closure in March 1990.
Always nice to see the lines of a "classic" 737. This one was built in 1990 for Sobelair of Belgium as OO-SBJ. Arriving at Miami.
Flair Airlines rose out of the ashes of Canada 3000, and operates a fleet of 5 Boeing 737-400's.
This week we are going back eighteen years to 2007, and to AX 528 on Leeson Street with a service on route 46B to Belarmine.
Route 46B started running between the city centre and Kilmacud Road (Stillorgan) in 1988, replacing route 64A. In 2002 the southern terminus was moved from Stillorgan to Sandyford Industrial Estate. In 2006 certain peak-time departures were extended to and from Belarmine, near Stepaside. These lasted until 2008 when route 47 started. The 46B lasted until September 2010 when Network Direct saw changes to the bus routes on the Stillorgan QBC, and routes 46B, 46C, 46D, 46X and 746 ceased to operate.
AX 528 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn in 2019, and sold on to another Irish operator.

There is a popular saying: “With the truth, a person can go all over the world.” The Baal Shem Tov explained, “That’s because he will get thrown out of one place after another” (Toldos Yaakov Yosef, Bo, 46b, cited in Sefer Baal Shem Tov, Vayeira 10).

Another shot where I was left wondering if I should have cropped the view differently or artificially place the people differently (now they are unedited)

Not a good photo, but the temperature was -45C in blowing ice crystals and I was wearing thick gloves...
This was the delivery flight of G-BOPK on it's fuel stop at Frobisher Bay (now renamed Iqaluit) in north eastern Canada. The temperature here was -45C with blowing ice crystals. No one told us that we shouldn't drop the airstairs in such conditions, so we did! When we came to leave 50 minutes later they were frozen solid. Ten minutes later, after a local engineer had given them a good battering with a rubber hammer, we managed to get them retracted. Unfortunately it didn't do them a lot of good. When we arrived at London-Gatwick they jammed halfway down and wouldn't move. This was embarrassing as there was a VIP party of Directors and Senior Managers waiting to greet us and they had to stand out on the ramp for a while until a set of steps arrived for the rear door!
History... This aircraft was delivered to the Rank Leisure Group and leased to Novair International Airways as G-BOPK in Mar-89. It was only in service for 1 year until the company closed down at the end of Mar-90. Sold to a leasing company by The Rank Leisure Group, it was stored until it was leased to Air Europe in Dec-90.
Unfortunately, Air Europe ceased operations in Mar-91 and the aircraft was repossessed and again stored until Nov-91 when it was leased to US private airline, Mark Air as N689MA.
It was returned to the lessor in May-94 and leased to Futura International the following month with the temporary registration EC-655, becoming EC-FYG in Aug-94. It was sub-leased to AMC Aviation, Egypt during the 1995/96 winter season as SU-SAA. It returned to Futura in May-96 with another temporary registration, EC-309, becoming EC-GHF in July-96.
There was a repeat performance with AMC Aviation for the 1996/97 winter season, this time as SU-SAB. By the time it returned to Futura in Mar-97 the Spanish Government had finally done away with temporary registrations and it became EC-GNC.
In Oct-98 Futura leased it to Aer Lingus as EI-CRC, they operated it for Ryan International Airlines in the USA until Apr-99 when it was returned to Futura, this time as EC-HCP. At that time Futura were in a partnership with Pegasus Airlines, Turkey and shared a common livery.
The Aer Lingus/Ryan International winter season deal was repeated in 1999/2000 as EI-CRC and the aircraft returned to Furura in May-00 with yet another different registration, EC-HME. In Jan-01 it was sub-leased to Transbrazil for 3 months as PT-TDH.
On its return in Apr-01 it was returned to the lessor and immediately leased to Aer Lingus, again as EI-CRC, and sub-leased to Futura for the 2001 European summer season. It was again returned to Aer Lingus for the 2001/02 winter season sub-lease to Ryan International. It was sub-leased to Futura again in Apr-02 and re-registered EC-IFN the following week.
It was returned to Aer Lingus and the lessor at the end of Apr-03 and leased to Islandsflug as TF-ELD. Islandsflug were merged into Air Atlanta Icelandic in Jan-05. In Feb-05 it was operated for Blue Line, France. It returned to Air Atlanta and the lessor in Nov-05 as N412CT.
In Jan-06 it was leased to Aegean Airlines as SX-BGX for 3 years. In Apr-09 it was sold to Jordan Aviation as JY-JAP. The aircraft was wet-leased to Bouraq Air Transport (Libya) Jun-09 and returned to Jordan Aviation in Oct-10. in Apr-16 it was wet-leased to Fly Baghdad (Iraq), returning to Jordan Aviation in Nov-16.
The aircraft was wet-leased to Al-Naser Wings (Iraq) in Jan-18 and returned to Jordan Aviation in Jun-18. It was permanently retired at Amman in Jan-20 after 31 years in service.

I think this is one of two reasonable photos I have of G-BOPJ. It was mostly based in Glasgow (GLA) for the summer season of 1989 and then at London-Gatwick (LGW) for the winter of 1989/90 until Novair ceased operations in Mar-90. I had G-BOPK based at Manchester so I've got lots of photo's of that one.
First flown with the Boeing test registration N1790B, this aircraft was delivered to The Rank Organisation and leased to Novair International Airways as G-BOPJ in Apr-89, this aircraft operated until the owners, Rank Leisure, pulled the plug on 31-Mar-90 (I was Cal Air & Novair Base manager at Manchester!).
It was returned to The Rank Organisation and sold to a lessor in May-00. It was immediately leased to British Midland Airways, still as G-BOPJ. It was re-registered G-OBMN in Nov-91 and continued in service with BMA until Dec-97 when it was returned to the lessor.
The aircraft was leased to Futura International Airways as EC-GRX the same day. It was sub-leased to Maersk Air (Denmark) for 2 months between mid Sep/mid Oct-03.
It was returned to the lessor in Jan-05 and leased to Lion Air (Indonesia) as PK-LII in Feb-05. It was retired and stored at Surabaya, Indonesia in 2013 and was last noted still at Surabaya in Apr-16.
The aircraft was dismantled at Surabaya in mid 2016 and transported by ship and then truck to Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia, re-assembled and placed on steel supports. It's now in use as a restaurant, painted all blue with 'Keramas Aero Park Boeing 747-400' titles & fictitious PK-TBA registration. (Updated Nov-17).
