IVECO 491E.10.22 CityClass
Cesenatico FO 28 agosto 2010
Il parere tecnico di un appassionato intenditore
Davide Mazzucco Iveco 491E.10.22 CityClass
Dalla targa l'anno di immatricolazione risale alla fine del 1998. È ingannevole il fatto come il box sul tetto dell'aria condizionata possa far sembrare la versione più moderna denominata più comunemente "Cursor", nome dato dall'omonimo motore di equipaggiamento. In realtà è la versione col vecchio motore sovralimentato Fiat 8360.46B da 220cv o versione potenziata da 267cv.
Data la metratura è più plausibile che sia la versione da 220cv, quindi 491E.10.22, dove la sigla 491 identifica il numero del progetto di tale telaio, "E" indicava che iniziavano a rispettare le normative antinquinamento di quegli anni, vale a dire Euro 1 (la versione Cursor rispettava le normative Euro 2), 10 indica la metratura in lunghezza, e 22 o 27 nel caso dei 267cv indica appunto l'abbreviazione numerica della potenza espressa in cv/hp

To mark the end of crew operations (driver and conductor) at Catford garage, the powers that be very generously let this RM and preserved RT1702 out on a variety of routes for the final few days. RM2046 and RT1702 were both used in service on Route 75 (9th), 47 (10th), 185 (11th), 54 (12th) and the 36B on the 13th March - the final day of crew operations.
RM2046 (ALM 46B) is seen here, parked up in Calvert Avenue, Shoreditch on Titan Route 47. The photographer having travelled up from Catford took the return ride back to Lewisham. RM2046, looking very smart on the day, became SELKENT's last operational Routemaster.

As an aside, Catford garage (TL) was one of the original garages operated by Thomas Tilling:
TL - Tilling Lewisham, TC - Tilling Croydon, TB - Tilling Bromley survived into London Transport days.
Catford garage was opened on 11th May 1914 and was not very old when requisitioned for the war effort. It did not re-open until 1920 when Thomas Tilling's Lewisham operation moved there due to space constraints at his other garage.
Thomas Tilling gained an agreement in 1923 to double the size of Catford and in addition the roof has been raised twice, first in 1930 to enable double deck buses to use the garage and again in 1948 to accommodate AEC Regent III RTs. The garage was modernised again in 1970.

Crew training at Manchester in late April, 1989 before entering service on 01-May-89.
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.

KOYASAN
Mount Kōya (高野山 Kōya-san) (English: Koyasan) is the name of a mountain in Wakayama Prefecture to the south of Osaka. The name Koya describes the town developed in the area, although the town itself is also generally referred to in English as Koyasan.
First settled in 819 by the monk Kūkai, Mt. Kōya is primarily known as the world headquarters of the Kōyasan Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. Located in an 800 m high valley amid the eight peaks of the mountain (which was the reason this location was selected, in that the terrain is supposed to resemble a lotus plant), the original monastery has grown into the town of Kōya, featuring a university dedicated to religious studies and 120 temples, many of which offer lodging to pilgrims and the travelling public.
Koya-san is accessible primarily by the Nankai Electric Railway from Namba Station (in Osaka) to Gokurakubashi Station at the base of the mountain. A cable car from Gokurakubashi then takes passengers to the top (Koyasan Station in 5 minutes. A bus then takes cable car passengers to the centre of town. The entire trip takes about 2 hours on an express train or 2.5 hours by non-express.
To make the most of the area, particularly for serious photographers, the best approach is take 2 days, staying overnight in one of the temple lodgings – particularly as the first express train from Osaka arrives mid-morning and leaves at 4:30 pm. Just photographing the Okunoin cemetery (see below) can take up to half a day.
Okunoin (奥の院) in Koyasan is the site of the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai), the founder of Shingon Buddhism and one of the most revered persons in the religious history of Japan.
Okunoin is one of the most sacred places in Japan and a popular pilgrimage spot. It is the largest and one of the oldest (1,200 years) remaining cemeteries in Japan, with over 20,000 graves.
My personal preference is to photograph the Koyasan area in November, before the first snows (autumn/fall colours – which blend beautifully with the temple colours).
Due to the altitude, the area can be 10 degrees Celsius lower than Osaka (sea level) with a biting mountain wind.

The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images and a limited number of scanned prints. The vast majority of Kodachrome™ shots were scanned during the period 2007-2014. As of 2022, there remains thousands of scanned, and unscanned images yet to go.
Early uploads were done in a 1024 X 683 pixel size. Since then, technology and software has improved, so I am beginning to re-upload in the much larger 2000 X 1250 pixel size, with the eventual goal of having only that format.
The images in the various galleries come mostly from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2022)
