Seen here in late December 1980 in the Gulf of Oman. We had just been in close formation with Avenger and Apollo and our supporting Royal Fleet Auxiliaries for a photo opportunity. Our arrival was the first full Op Armilla deployment from the UK. Birmingham, Avenger and Olmeda had already been deployed and had been diverted from other duties to fill in before our arrival.
Op. Armilla commenced in late 1980 in response to the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War in September 1980. It was intended to provide protection to British (and presumably also neutral) merchant shipping if they were threatened by the belligerents. At this point in the operation, we didn't even enter the Persian Gulf!
HMS Birmingham was a Type 42 destroyer laid down by Cammell Laird and Company, Limited, at Birkenhead on 28 March 1972, launched on 30 July 1973 by Lady Empson, wife of Sir Derek Empson and commissioned on 3 December 1976. She was named for the city of Birmingham, England.
"The Brum" spent much of her useful life as Fleet Contingency Ship and spent considerable time in the post-Falklands conflict patrol role. In 1984 she patrolled the Falklands and acted as a radar picket ship along with Broadsword and Ajax. In 1985 she took part in Standing Naval Force Mediterranean, calling at Gibraltar, Palma de Mallorca, Naples, & Messina. On completion of de-ammunitioning at Rosyth and being sent for a successful refit at Rosyth dockyard, she returned to Portsmouth in 1988 for sea trials and re-acceptance to the fleet. Commanded by Roy Clare, now Director of the Maritime Museum in London, her first deployment post-refit was another tour to the Persian Gulf region, returning in March 1989.
Birmingham paid off at Portsmouth on 10 December 1999. In early January 2000, under her own power, she sailed to Devonport where, for the next two months, she was stripped of all her usable equipment. She was eventually towed back to Portsmouth in May 2000 where she was sold for scrap and left Portsmouth under tow for Spain on 20 October 2000.

The Sunbeam-Talbot 90and built by Sunbeam-Talbot from 1948 to 1954 and continued as the Sunbeam Mk III from 1954 to 1957.The 90 was launched in 1948 along with the smaller-engined Sunbeam-Talbot 80 but many features dated back to the pre war Sunbeam-Talbot 2 Litre. The body, available as a 4-door 4-light sports saloon or 2-door drophead coupe, appeared completely new though it continued some major pressings. The saloon featured the original Aero-Minx pillar-less join between the glass on the rear door and the rear quarter window with its distinctive Sunbeam-Talbot reverse slope. went through three versions were produced before the name was changed to Sunbeam Mk III (without the Talbot) in 1954
Launched originally in 1948 with a 1,944 cc four-cylinder engine, a redesign of the earlier Sunbeam Talbot 2 litre
The car was updated as the Mark II for the September 1950 Earls Court Motorshow. The engine was enlarged to 2267cc with an ouput of 70 bhp and with a higher rear axle ratio for for more comfortable cruising. The existing chassis was fitted with independent front suspension using coil springs mounted on a specially shaped new cross-member. The front of the 90's body was modified; the headlights were raised to meet international regulations and the fog and driving lights were moved and remounted to leave air inlet grilles on either side of the radiator.
A coupé tested by The Motor magazine in 1952 had a top speed of 85.2 mph (137.1 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 20.2 seconds. A fuel consumption of 22.5 miles per imperial gallon was recorded and the test car cost £1393 including taxes.
This car appears in the Father Brown TV Series as the car belonging to Penelope Bunty Windermere

Class 91 electric locomotive No. 91127 gets away from Leeds propelling 1A39, the 15:45 service to London King's Cross on Monday 11th February 2019.
Living over 200 miles from Leeds I doubt that I will ever see this sight again but, given that I have connections with the city, it's not impossible. I've read in the railway press that LNER plans to retire all 91/Mk4/DVT combinations from its fleet by June 2020.
The photograph shows the "91" simply doing what members of the 31-strong class have done day in, day out for three decades, and they represent a triumph of BR-era design and engineering skills. These locomotives have beaten the A4s, the Deltics and the HSTs in terms of endurance, working top flight expresses between London and Yorkshire, the North East and Edinburgh for longer than any of those classic predecessors. For this achievement they are deserving of respect, as are the men and women in all rail industry capacities who have kept these trains running over the years. The signs are that some "Inter-City 225" sets at least will find work elsewhere on the national network, so that is something different to look forward to.

Q542 accelerates past Wyvern after waiting for A718 to clear up back into Wyvern yard. On this day, 542 was ordered to dropoff their cars destined for here at North Yard several miles to the south in an effort to save time while A718 headed back for home base. 1-31-20

The Class 40 Preservation Society owned 40106 'Atlantic Conveyor' accelerates away from Bewdley working the 09:45 Bridgnorth to Kidderminster on Day 3 of the Severn Valley Railways Autumn Diesel Bash.
It raises huge amounts of spray which may explain his gentle departure until he was clear of the beach.
Fall accelerates:
Another walk around one of the lakes here. I was surprised, fall colors were basically absent only few days ago, now there is obviously more to see. I hope color will build up a bit in the next weeks, and it's not gone before it really starts.
I did boost color in these a bit, it was a dull day.
not sure what this is actually called, I call it a lake or a dam, but I've seen it referenced as a large duck pond, either way it's in the middle of an off-lead dog park called "President's Park"
We go to President's Park a lot. Mostly we drive and walk a loop, but sometimes I take Saxon rollerblading, this lake is a must-stop and I suggest he "go get his feet wet" as we go by, you can see him accelerate toward it when he knows it's coming :-)
The "boring bit" when blading for him is across the other side of the road. A ball over there keeps him happy until we get back to this side for another trip around :-)
When we walk getting wet is not exactly encouraged, I don't mind most of the time but if he's just had a bath or some other practical reason I can suggest he stay out and encourage with the right words and timing of the ball, and he's pretty good about staying along the edge ;-)
In the far background, top right is the dog training club building. I used to take Lotus there, maybe you remember the first time I found this lake was with her on a very hot training day that ended up being cancelled due to the heat?
found the video: too hot for obedience

45041 Royal Tank Regiment accelerates away from Hammersmith with a train for Butterley, 24th August 2008.
Locomotive History
45041 was originally D53 and was to have been constructed at Derby works during the latter part of 1961, but the order for D50 - D67 was transferred to Crewe works and D53 was delivered during 1962. It was named at Derby Works on the 24th September 1964. It received its final classified repair (light) at Derby during August 1985 and would be the last Class 45/0 to receive any type of repair at Derby when during July 1986 it received attention to its main generator. The end came on the 8th June 1988 at Thornaby when it was finally stopped with traction motor defects and withdrawn. After five years in store the Peak was moved to The Railway Age, Crewe for preservation and then to the Midland Railway Centre,

Arriving downtown I had to wonder if I was about to repeat the last time I went after a Magnetation train and landed trackside with 30 seconds to spare; headlight to the east on M2! Then I got a closer look; it was an NS powered oil. For some reason it was sitting just east of Fairview Ave even though it had a clear green, so what was up? Train failure, accident, picking up some rolls from Pepperidge Farm, well we’ll never know, but after holding for another five minutes it got on the move. Perfect, there’s nothing like the sound of a train getting on the move!
