Robyn and I first connected on Model Mayhem. I still use that site sometimes but it has little value anymore (at least to me). Anyway, once Robyn and I started talking about a photo session, it took a while to pull it all together mostly because of unpredictable wook schedules. But it was defintely worth the effort.
Robyn loved this dance/blur/motion style image I always try to explore. I wish we could have shot again after tnis to be able to do more of this style.
Hojas, contraluz
solitarias noches
a veces alucino
con la sencillez
de la naturaleza
y lo enrevesado
de la mente
humana, empeñada
como un crio
en hacer...
los brillos
las sombras
las luces
y los destellos
los instantes
los caminos
la fauna,
el gremio,
la tormenta y

Just like the controls i my like the up button sometimes work's the down/close button has a mind of its own and the stop button is pointless as it never works.
So this was our service workshop or one of them and the cause for the place shutting down due to a structurally unsafe floor that could have seen it ironically fall onto our accident repair centre below.
Those boots were killing me by the end of the day. i don't think it was a good idea doing the mile walk into town and back
En un mundo en el que todo y todos estamos cada vez mas controlados, pocos son capaces de salirse del camino marcado... ¡¡¡ Grita !!!

Southern Pacific EMD SD35E 4700 at Stockham siding, Tucson, Arizona, November, 1976. Photographer: Craig Garver. Scanned from an 8x10 photographic print of a 35mm Panatomic X negative owned by Digital Rail Artist.
Stockham, Arizona, was the point where the double track began on the far west side of Tucson, a couple of miles from my home. A CTC controlled siding continued west from Prince Road for another 8,000 some odd feet.
I was the 17 year old railfan with a bicycle and what seemed to many SP train crews a kid with a Minolta surgically attached to his face, like a peculiar member of the Borg with shaggy hair who lived at the yard.
A westbound pig train flashed by off the double track, blasting toward Yuma. An absolute signal cleared to my west, and a headlight and oscillating white light suddenly came on as a cloud of dark smoke indicated the engineer of the eastbound had released his brake and was coming toward me. The lighting wasn't great, so I wasn't really prepared to shoot into the sun for this one.
As the eastbound approached, a deafening roar filled the air. What in the world? I was expecting just another bunch of SD45's and tunnel motors! While I stood there dumbfounded, the lead unit rolled by me and I noticed it was a freshly rebuilt something ... what? Oh! What?! Is that a deturbocharged SD35? In Tucson? Quick! I grabbed the shot and never saw the unit again.
For a normally pretty well informed railfan, I missed this one entirely. Sacramento had rebuilt the first of the aging SD35's the previous month for hump duties. This one was going to Houston.
Not my best shot, but this is probably one of the few photos you'll see of the rear details of one of these three units. The turbo has been replaced with a Farr air filter box. A snowplow has been added to the front - what it was going to do in a hump yard in Houston is anybody's guess. The SD35's lived their whole lives without one.
One of many scenes within the control tower at The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby . This tableau depicts life in the control room of the tower back in the day .
A short history of RAF East Kirkby taken from wikipedia --
Royal Air Force East Kirkby or more simply RAF East Kirkby is a former Royal Air Force station near the village of East Kirkby, south of Horncastle in Lincolnshire, just off the A155. The Greenwich meridian passes through the airfield.
RAF Station East Kirkby opened on 20 August 1943 as a Bomber Command Station and is situated not far from RAF Coningsby.
Stationed at East Kirkby were:
No. 57 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 27 August 1943 – 25 November 1945.
No. 630 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 15 November 1943 – 18 July 1945.
RAF East Kirkby served also as the headquarters of No 5/5 (Bomber) Group RAF in command of satellite stations at RAF Strubby, RAF Spilsby, RAF Hemswell and RAF Manby.
Operations
On 17 April 1945, near the end of the Second World War, a 57 Squadron Lancaster was being loaded with bombs when a fully armed 1,000 lb bomb was unintentionally dropped onto the tarmac. Because the bomb had had its fuse inserted it detonated, setting off the rest of the Lancaster's bombload. A massive explosion killed three airmen, injured 16 others, wrote off six other Lancasters beyond repair and badly damaged a nearby aircraft hangar.
The final wartime raid from East Kirkby was flown on 25 April 1945. In total, 212 operations were carried out during the war, from which 121 Lancasters did not return. Another 29 aircraft were lost due to operational crashes or accidents.
Post war
No 630 Squadron disbanded in July that year and its place was taken by No. 460 Squadron RAAF from RAF Binbrook. This squadron joined No. 57 for transfer to the Far East as part of Tiger Force. In the 1950s, the airfield was used by the United States Air Force for Air Rescue squadrons for four years. The station (code name Silksheen) closed in 1958. It was sold by the government in 1964.
Aircraft museum
The airfield became the site of broiler sheds, and is now home to an air museum, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, which bought Just Jane, the gate guardian Lancaster bomber from RAF Scampton, which is regularly taxied out and stood with the four Rolls Royce Merlin XXIV engines running. Just Jane is being restored to flight by the museum.
NX611 was built by Austin Aero Ltd at their Cofton Hackett Works just south of Birmingham, rolling out of the Flight Shed on 16 April 1945, when it was put into storage, and in 1952, it was one of 54 Lancasters sold to the French Naval Air Arm, (L’Aeronavale) for £50,000 each as part of a 1951 NATO arrangement. It was designated WU-15 (Western Union). In June 1961,it joined Escadrille 9S (Surveillance), in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
On 15 April 1964, it accompanied Lancaster NX665 (WU-13), on delivery to the RNZAF, from New Caledonia to Auckland, New Zealand, returning to New Caledonia, with the crew of NX665. In 1965, its service with the L’Aeronavale over, due to spares shortages and maintenance problems, it was flown to England and on 13 May 1965 landed at Biggin Hill Airport, Kent, as part of the 'Historic Aircraft Preservation Society' Collection (HAPS). It had flown 2,330 hours. It had been registered as G - ASXX for its flight back to the UK and later stood as the gate guardian at RAF Scampton before being acquired by the museum owners Fred & Harold Panton
The control tower is believed to be haunted. The airfield was featured in a 1980s BBC series about World War II airfields. Much of the runway is still intact today but mainly used by local farmers as hard standing and by model aircraft enthusiasts. Occasional civilian light aircraft have landed on the remaining runway in recent years and the airfield still appears on Civil Aviation Maps as a diversion emergency landing location.
A memorial to the fallen can be found outside the main gate where the guard house once stood.
RAF East Kirkby was investigated by the Most Haunted team in 2003 for their third series on Living TV now called Sky Living. Yvette Fielding and her team investigated the museum and site for alleged paranormal activity. The episode was transmitted on Tuesday 7 October 2003 on Living TV. It was the first episode of the third series of the paranormal investigation show Most Haunted.
In 2008 the museum opened an unlicensed part-grass and part-concrete landing strip for visiting military and civil aircraft. No aircraft should land without contacting the owners first via the museum's website or telephone number. Air traffic control on flying display days is from RAF Coningsby and there is a six-mile "no fly" exclusion zone around East Kirkby on display days.
I was very interested in seeing the reference to RAF Manby , a base I spent some time at on a full runway and taxiway survey back in the very early 70s and in the winter months and it was very very cold and wet .
We stayed on site - 16 of us in one room - the transit dormitory . Saw a number of live bands in the NAAFI including Slade .
The lasting memory of Manby though is of me running along the centre of the taxiway to retrieve a survey target from the centre line with a Jet Provost following close behind me waiting for me to clear the obstruction - felt quite hairy at the time but I guess the pilot knew what he was doing - I hope !!!
