Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ - here you will find all trucks organized in more than 1600 albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.
Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.

Tenerife,
the shot at hand: inspired by Ryan the one, the only....always pimp!
this is a regular family outing for the O'Connor family on any given saturday night...it started with "i've got a shot stuck in my head, who wants to help?"
my boy...first hand up!! and can i bring a friend....well only if said friend asks a parent because first, it's illegal and second, there is a small element of danger and third, it's illegal!!
so we're off....to a trespass into Holmes Foundry....hubby is never keen to trespass...what if we get caught, then what...and as always, i assure him that the cops have better things to do than to chase a family around in an abandoned place when all they're doing is taking pictures!!
the image above, truly a joint venture...included the following technicalities:
*the pose - strategically placed by me
*the subjects - 2 boys told to stay very still for 25 secs. (no easy task)
*handheld flashlight - me again to light the graffiti
*red gel flash - courtesy of hubby moving around the scene flashing on command
my son's friend, who had never done anything like this thought this was the best ever outing so the boys were paid with a late dinner out....we got home by midnight!!
isn't this a normal outing?
so now.....tell me what the rest of you do on any regular night out????

The CIE M-class of 12m Leyland Leopards have always been among my favourite Irish coaches, although I have never been lucky enough to see one in the flesh. They had long lives and most were heavily re-engineered with alternative engines, in many cases the Detroit Diesel two-stroke unit, which must have made a superb noise when combined with the Leopard exhaust. Last year Jim Poots produced a resin kit of the M-class, which sold out very quickly, and I have just got round to building my example; it is in the Carousel Coaches fleet and registered MGS 341K, which should provide a clue to its former Irish identity.
In 2008 we went to Pueblo Grande for the Annual Indian Market in Phoenix. The Navajo (Diné) Code Talkers played a vital role in winning World War II in the Pacific. Only one of the original 29 Code Talkers is still living. However, after they were established in 1942 there were approximately 400 Code Talkers.
During the early months of WW II Japanese intelligence experts broke every code the US forces devised. They were able to anticipate American actions at an alarming rate. With plenty of fluent English speakers at their disposal, they sabotaged messages and issued false commands to ambush Allied troops. To combat this, increasingly complex codes were initiated. At Guadalcanal, military leaders finally complained that sending and receiving these codes required hours of encryption and decryption—up to two and a half hours for a single message. They rightly argued the military needed a better way to communicate.
When Phillip Johnston, a civilian living in California learned of the crisis, he had the answer. As the son of a Protestant missionary, Johnston had grown up on the Navajo reservation and was one of less than 30 outsiders fluent in their difficult language. He realized that since it had no alphabet and was almost impossible to master without early exposure, the Navajo language had great potential as an indecipherable code. After an impressive demonstration to top commanders, he was given permission to begin a Navajo Code Talker test program.
Their elite unit was formed in early 1942 when the first 29 Navajo Code Talkers were recruited by Johnston. Although the code was modified and expanded throughout the war, this first group was the one to conceive it. Accordingly, they are often referred to reverently as the original 29. Many of these enlistees were just boys; most had never been away from home before. Often lacking birth certificates, it was impossible to verify ages. After the war it was discovered that recruits as young as 15 and as old as 35 had enlisted. Age notwithstanding, they easily bore the rigors of basic training, thanks to their upbringing in the southwestern desert.
The code was as ingenious as it was effective. It originated as approximately 200 terms—growing to over 600 by war's end—and could communicate in 20 seconds what took coding machines of the time 30 minutes to do. It consisted of native terms that were associated with the respective military terms they resembled. For example, the Navajo word for turtle meant tank, and a dive-bomber was a chicken hawk. To supplement those terms, words could be spelled out using Navajo terms assigned to individual letters of the alphabet—the selection of the Navajo term being based on the first letter of the Navajo word's English meaning. For instance, Wo-La-Chee means ant, and would represent the letter A. In this way the Navajo Code Talkers could quickly and concisely communicate with each other in a manner even uninitiated Navajos could not understand.
Once trained, the Navajo Code Talkers were sent to Marine divisions in the Pacific theater of WWII. Despite some initial skepticism by commanding officers, they quickly gained a distinguished reputation for their remarkable abilities. In the field, they were not allowed to write any part of the code down as a reference. They became living codes, and even under harried battle conditions, had to rapidly recall every word with utmost precision or risk hundreds or thousands of lives. In the battle for Iwo Jima, in the first 48 hours alone, they coded over 800 transmissions with perfect accuracy. Their heroism is widely acknowledged as the lynchpin of victory in the pivotal conflict.
Old code lines at Sparrowbush, NY left behind from the Erie Railroad still hang along side the rails of the former Delaware Division. Their purpose these days is only to sing in the wind and give birds a place to rest their wings.

British postcard in the Film Shots series by Film Weekly. Photo: Universal. Paul Lukas and Elissa Landi in By Candlelight (James Whale, 1933).
By Candlelight (James Whale, 1933) is one of the sophisticated precodes revolving around a series of mistaken identities and misrepresentations. It is an adaptation of the Austrian play, 'Bei Kerzenlicht', by writers Siegfried Geyer and Karl Farkas. Josef (Paul Lukas) is the valet for Count von Rommer (Nils Asther) and is well trained in the philandering ways of his master. Mistaken for the Count by a maid, Marie (Elissa Landi), whom he thinks is an aristocrat, Josef shows her a merry time in the Count's Monte Carlo villa. Meanwhile, the Count escapes a situation with Countess von Rischenheim (Dorothy Revier), when her husband Count von Rischenheim (Lawrence Grant) makes an unscheduled appearance, by posing as the butler.
Director Robert Wyler had failed to be able to make a satisfactory start with By Candlelight so Universal asked James Whale to continue the film. Whale took Ted Kent, his favourite cutter, and John Mescall as the camera director. Whale started the film over from the beginning. He filmed the script as it was for the most part, but he also made a game of it, putting in his special tricks of the trade. Producer Carl Laemmle was very happy with the result. He liked the film himself, and it brought in good money just in the nick of time to help save the studio once more, adding some good revenue to the spectacular revenues from Whale's The Invisible Man which were then really piling up. Mark Waltz at IMDb: "This art-deco gem, a fast-moving, well-acted comedy of manners (or lack of...). Lukas, who up to that point was known in Hollywood as the leading man of many women's films, proves himself to be much more debonair than presented in the past. With Landi, he shares some great scenes on a train ride where they mingle with common folk at a town fair. Landi is good in a drunk scene, but it's Lukas and Asther who get acting honours here. Whale does a great job with every single detail from the sets, photography, and unmannered performances that remain fresh today as they were in 1933." Hal Erickson at AllMovie: "By Candlelight is chock full of delightfully double-entendre pre-Code dialogue and dextrous directorial touches".
