Stagecoach 34816 (PX06 DWA) one of Rugby`s remaining Dennis Darts, heads along Corporation Street, Rugby, with a 4 for Admirals Estate on the 3rd of July 2018.
This shot can prove very difficult indeed, as, depending on the traffic lights, streams of traffic can get in the way, bowling the bus. Which most definitely is not acceptable. There is also the danger of traffic sticking out of the buses 'arse', or cutting into the bus going in the other direction, neither of which are acceptable unless an ultra rare shot. You then have the display to contend with, and on these remaining Darts, the display shows on about 1 in 7 shots. Fortunately, this one worked out perfect. Apart from that boring blue sky, of course!!

Beautiful Daniela Bianchi (1942) is an Italian actress, whose best-known part was luscious Soviet cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova in the James Bond film From Russia with Love (1963). She played in several more Eurospy films during the 1960s.
Daniela Bianchi was born in Rome, Italy in 1942. She grew up the only child of an army Colonel. After graduating from high school Bianchi found a passion for ballet before launching into a modelling career. Her film career began in 1958 with a bit part in En cas de malheur/Love Is My Profession (Claude Autant-Lara, 1958) starring Jean Gabin and Brigitte Bardot. Bianchi was Miss Rome in 1960 and became the 1st runner-up in the 1960 Miss Universe contest, where she was also voted Miss Photogenic by the press. More film parts followed in films like Les Démons de minuit/Midnight Follies (Marc Allégret, Charles Gérard, 1961) with Charles Boyer, the comedy Una domenica d'estate/Always on Sunday (Giulio Petroni, 1962) and the Peplum La Spada del Cid/ The Sword of El Cid (Miguel Iglesias, 1962). Then she played the role of Tatiana Romanova in From Russia with Love (1963), the second James Bond film made by Eon Productions and the second to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and directed by Terence Young. It is based on the 1957 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. In the film, James Bond is sent to assist in the defection of Soviet consulate clerk Tatiana Romanova in Turkey, where SPECTRE plans to avenge Bond's killing of Dr. No. At the age of 21, Bianchi was and would be the youngest actress to play a leading Bond girl ever. Bianchi started taking English classes for the role, but the producers ultimately chose to dub her voice-over by Barbara Jefford. Following the success of the first 007 film, Dr. No (Terence Young, 1962), United Artists approved a sequel and doubled the budget available for the producers. In addition to filming on location in Turkey, the action scenes were shot at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire and in Scotland. From Russia with Love was a critical and commercial success, taking over $78 million in worldwide box office receipts, more than its predecessor Dr. No.
After From Russia with Love, Daniela Bianchi made a number of French and Italian films. First, she starred in the French thriller Le Tigre aime la chair fraîche/The Tiger Likes Fresh Blood (Claude Chabrol, 1964) opposite Roger Hanin as the secret agent LeTigre. Her only role in an American production was in Rome Will Never Leave You (1964), three episodes filmed in Rome of the Dr. Kildare series with Richard Chamberlain. Among her Italian films were the comedy Slalom (Luciano Salce, 1965) starring Vittorio Gassman, the comedy L'ombrellone/Weekend Wives (Dino Risi, 1965) and the Eurospy film Requiem per un agente segreto/Requiem for a Secret Agent (Sergio Sollima, 1966) starring Stewart Granger. The latter is the third and last Eurospy film of prolific director Sollima and the first he signed with his real name (in the two previous spy films he was credited as Simon Sterling). One of Bianchi’s later films was Operation Kid Brother/OK Connery (Alberto de Marino, 1967), a James Bond spoof filmed in English (Bianchi was again dubbed) and starring Sean Connery's younger brother, Neil Connery. The overall plot of the film is that England’s best secret agent is not available, so his younger brother is brought in to defeat the evil crime syndicate THANATOS. O.K. Connery is notable in that several actors from the James Bond series appear as similar characters. Besides Bianchi, the film also features Adolfo Celi, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell and Anthony Dawson. Dan Pavlides at AllMovie: “Campy, plodding, and unintentionally funny in places, the feature remains a curiosity item only because of the novelty of Sean Connery's brother being the hero.” Her final film was the crime drama Scacco Internazionale/The Last Chance (Giuseppe Rosati, 1968) in which she co-starred with Tab Hunter. She retired from acting. In 1985, she married a Genoan president of a cargo shipping company, with whom she has a son named Filippo. In 2012 Daniela Bianchi returned for once to the screen in the documentary Noi non siamo come James Bond/We're nothing like James Bond (Mario Balsamo, 2012).

Following years of neglect and decline Belfast's waterfront has been transformed, becoming a focus for business, leisure and cultural activities and a place of opportunity for all. Laganside Corporation (1989 - 2007) received international recognition as a regeneration agency for its achievement in successfully turning the vision of the Laganside area as an exciting place to live, work and play into a reality. This success is reflected in the ongoing momentum for development with the waterfront becoming an integral part of Belfast's city centre.
Over 4km of riverside pathways exist within Laganside, allowing easy access from the heart of the city to the wide-open spaces of Lagan Valley Regional Park. These pathways form part of the Sustrans National Millennium Cycle Network, a new map of which is available from the Lagan Lookout Visitor Centre, and have been used for a variety of events including Laganside’s 10k race, cycle fun days, story telling and mural painting.
Sustrans Route 9 cycle path will eventually connect Belfast and Dublin. The route is currently open and signed between Queen Elizabeth Bridge in Belfast and Slieve Gullion (south of Newry) via Lisburn, Craigavon, Portadown and Scarva.
Route 9
Description
1. Belfast to Portadown
National Route 9 follows the River Lagan towpath south west from Belfast to Lisburn, from here meandering along small country roads with some short hills to the most southerly shore of Lough Neagh.
The route continues to Craignavon and Portadown along custom built traffic-free paths. National Route 9 between Kilmore Bridge and Newry Canal is part of the Craigavon Cycle Trail and Belfast to Portadown also forms part of EuroVelo 1.
2. Portadown to Newry and Slieve Gullion
The route follows the towpath on the western bank of the now non-navigable Newry Canal for the 20 miles to link Portadown and Newry. National Route 9 continues for a short stretch on minor roads to Camlough and Slieve Gullion Courtyard Centre.

Whitehall is a 75-room, 100,000 square foot Gilded Age mansion open to the public in Palm Beach, Florida in the United States. Completed in 1902, it is a major example of neoclassical Beaux Arts architecture designed by Carrère and Hastings for Henry Flagler, a leading captain of industry in the late 19th century, and a leading developer of Florida as a tourist destination. The building is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, named after its builder.
The site of the home was purchased for $50,000 in 1893 (as of 2010 that would be $1,197,562.39) by Flagler. The site was later surveyed for construction in July 1900 and the home was completed in time for Flagler and his wife to move in on February 6, 1902. The architects were John Carrère and Thomas Hastings, who had earlier designed the Ponce de Leon Hotel and several other buildings in St. Augustine for Flagler. Whitehall was to be a winter residence, and Henry gave it to Mary Lily as a wedding present. They would travel to Palm Beach each year in one of their own private railcars, one of which was No. 91.
In 1959, the site was saved from demolition by one of Henry Flagler's granddaughters Jean Flagler Matthews. She established the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum non-profit corporation, which purchased the building in 1959, opening it as a museum in 1960. The upper ten stories of the hotel addition were demolished in 1963 in preparing the museum for the public.
Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, exhibits, and special programs. The museum offers several programs, many of which are seasonal, lasting only from October to January. In addition to an annual chamber music series, the Flagler hosts the Whitehall lecture series, which brings “experts and best-selling authors to discuss Gilded Age topics, events, and local history.” Past lecture series include historical talks about the dawn of the Progressive Era, World War I, Gilded Age presidents, engineering feats, and Metaphysical America: Spirituality and Health Movements During the Gilded Age. The Flagler also holds a special exhibition each year, often showcasing Gilded Age paintings, sculptures, glamour photography, or material culture, such as board games, jewelry, cartoons, Tiffany & Co. silver pieces (including ones displayed at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition), and women's fashion. It also hosts a variety of local galas and balls throughout the year. The Museum is located at Cocoanut Row and Whitehall Way in Palm Beach.
Flagler died of injuries sustained in falling down a flight of marble stairs at Whitehall in 1913, at the age of 83. Mary Lily died four years later, and the home was devised to her niece Louise Clisby Wise Lewis, who sold the property to investors. They constructed a 300-room, ten-story addition to the west side of the building, obliterating Mr. Flagler's offices and the housekeeper's apartment, and altering the original kitchen and pantry area. Carrere and Hastings were the architects of the 1925 reconstruction. In 1939 it was described as a $4,000,000 building and Palm Beach's second-largest hotel.
When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall was hailed by the New York Herald as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." It was designed in the Beaux Arts style, meant to rival the extravagant mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
Distinct from these northern homes, Whitehall had no outbuildings or subsidiary structures. Nor had it elaborately planned or cultivated gardens. Plants, flowers, trees and shrubs were allowed to grow unaided.
The mansion is built around a large open-air central courtyard and is modeled after palaces in Spain and Italy. Three stories tall with several wings, the mansion has fifty-five fully restored rooms furnished with period pieces. These rooms are large with marble floors, walls and columns, murals on the ceilings, and heavy gilding.
Officially opened February 4, 2005, the $4.5-million Flagler Kenan Pavilion is the first addition to the property since 1925. The 8,100-square-foot (750 m2) pavilion is named after the mogul and William R. Kenan Jr., Flagler's engineer, friend and brother-in-law. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts manner by Jeffery W. Smith of Palm Beach-based Smith Architectural Group, Inc. and took almost four years to build. The featured display in this pavilion is Railcar No. 91, Flagler's private railcar built in Delaware in 1886. According to the museum, the car was restored using “documentation from the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian, the Delaware State Archives, and the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware.” It also houses the seasonal Pavilion Café and tea service.

A rear entrance PD2 in the traditional livery in March 1973. At the time I think the 49 might have been the only route to retain crew operation. Others had gone one man, often surprisingly using front-entrance PD2s, which also surprisingly survived for a long time.
A Brighton Hove & District Fleetline can be seen creeping up behind - demonstrating the fact that they were in the same livery! However by this time both were changing - corporation buses were going blue and white and BH&D were going green. Initially this had been nice Southdown green and cream - but this soon changed to dismal National green.
Note the Jolyon tea shop!
In September 1973, before West Yorkshire municipal operators were swallowed up into the West Yorkshire PTE.
A PD2 stands at Halifax bus station on one of the joint routes to Bradford. A Bradford Corporation bus stands behind.

This Falcon 7X was - in 2007 - the first customer delivery of the type, going to Flight Level Corporation who operated it on behalf of owner Gustavo Andrés Deutsch, the former owner of LAPA (Lineas Aéreas Privadas Argentinas), which explains the basic LAPA colours on the Falcon.
Registered as N70FL and named 'Southern Star III', it was seen sitting idle at Sector 7, after arriving on a flight from Paris-Le Bourget a few days earlier.
After Mr. Deutsch sadly died in a plane crash in 2014 when he piloted his private Beech Super King Air, his Falcon 7X was sold in 2016 and then flew with battery manufacturer Duracell until early 2025, when it got new owners and is now flying for Jamshid Jahm Najafi (Phoenix Suns and McLaren Racing).
FDB340C the East Lancs Leyland PD2 which was new to Stockport Corporation in 1965 paused briefly at Crathorne, North of Thirsk. The road here was originally the A19 before the village was bypassed many years ago. It makes a useful place to stop and check you still have feet and fingers attached when driving buses on marathon journeys with no heat in December. The positive was a sharp reminder how far modern vehicles have come these days and how lazy they make us !
