Black 5 45231 with a crew training run Locomotive Services ltd, a round trip from Crewe via Chester, Shrewsbury and Telford. Seen near Shifnal.
In the early hours of the morning of Saturday 26th August 1944, RAF Halifax bomber MZ311 crashed into the escarpment of Cleeve Common in Gloucestershire. All seven of the mixed Canadian/British crew lost their lives.
The aircraft was returning from a mission to lay mines off La Rochelle, western France, in a minefield codenamed Cinnamon. It belonged to No. 78 Squadron of RAF Bomber Command, based at RAF Breighton in Yorkshire.
Of the crew of seven personnel, five belonged to the Royal Canadian Air Force and two were RAF. The oldest was aged 32 at the time of the crash; the youngest was just 19. Their names are now recorded for posterity on a monument recently erected by Cleeve Common Trust at the crash site.
The crash site is believed to be on the escarpment of Cleeve Hill, not far from the trig point on the hilltop.
The memorial stone overlooks Bishop’s Cleeve with the Malvern Hills in the distance.
The signage always seems to amuse me for some reason.

Mrs P and myself recently visited the RNLI college in Poole, Dorset, a very impressive state of the art facility, something I have wanted to do for some time.
We booked ‘The Discovery Tour’ details of which can be found on the internet.
We can highly recommend this tour to people from all walks of life.
There were many reasons for wanting to do this tour, living by the coast all our lives and our fascination of the sea being one. Also there are three lifeboat stations a short distance from home which we look in on a regular basis, one of these being a station with an all weather boat.
Sadly but not least a Father and Son, both friends of ours ended up in the sea locally following a freak accident many years ago. Arriving on scene The RNLI were faced with a 3 meter breaking sea, plus waves rebounding off the cliff face. Following an extremely dangerous manoeuvre the boats helm took the boat in stern first, close into the cliffs under extreme conditions.
Locating the one casualty whose condition was deteriorating rapidly, the crew got him on board got away from the cliff where he was transferred to a helicopter and taken to hospital which saved his life.
Sadly his father had died in the accident, but once again the crew in the most challenging of circumstances returned to the scene, carried out an incredible manoeuvre in order to recover the Fathers body so the family could lay him to rest.
Following this outstanding rescue all three crew members were awarded gallantry medals by the RNLI, with the helm awarded the Silver medal.
I have the greatest admiration and respect for the crews as in the main they are all non paid volunteers who go out in all manner of weather conditions to save the lives of others.
Some stations which have an all weather boat do have one crew member mainly a mechanic on station who does get paid. But these stations are in the minority.
On the way home from Poole, we decided to drop in on Kimmeridge Bay, a location I have wanted to visit and photograph. Conditions were not ideal, but what is it they say, ‘you have to photograph what is in front of you’.
A word of caution to anyone visiting here. An old trick of mine over the years even before I got a camera is to get a nearby stone and skim it across any rocks. If the stone takes off like a long dog you know the rocks are very slippery.
When I threw a stone across these lovely inviting rocks, the stone took off like a bullet. So though they did not look it at first glance these are very slippery indeed, so please take care.
Thank you for viewing my photos, the comments and banter are so appreciated.

Pelican clean up crew waiting for fishing boat scraps - San Felipe, Baja (Mexico)... on the Sea of Cortez.
I made these characters just for fun, cause I´ve been sewing so much these days that they are the only "people" I talk to sometimes =-*

With the power switching out on three trains multiple times over the course of a day it makes for a lot of crew changes. That's what's happening in this scene. The road engineer has offloaded his grip after the last trip with C&NW 6847 and turned it over to the hostling crew to be set aside. Now the SP 1518 will power the coach train. The hostler's attention is focused out the door back to the train as the connection is made to the coaches. Meanwhile, a trainman on the front steps compares notes with road engineer as he stands by for them to turn over the right-hand seat.
As I mentioned earlier, 1518 is the first of 17,000+ SD series EMD locomotives, built as the SD7 demonstrator. It was sold to the SP and had a long life of revenue service, over 50 years, extending into the UP era. It's been in preservation for over 20 years now. 1518 is in pretty rough shape cosmetically but I don't entirely mind the fading and rust. To me the weathering attests to the harsh climates the SP served and some of the lean years on the SP towards the end of their run. An air of believability is added, you can almost imagine the conversation starting off with something like "What do you make of the news? Sounds like they're selling the whole ball of wax to Union Pacific." August 10, 2024.

CN X311 is stopped at Turcot Ouest to change crews. The train is carrying windmill blades, which are built by LM Wind Power Canada in Gaspé, Quebec. Behind the train is autoroute 20, which was located further south until last year.

Sunday October 2nd saw the Shuttleworth's Race Day Event. Bringing together pre-war cars and planes.
Here are the pit crew for the massive Napier Railton race car. Built in 1933 and fitted with a 12 cylinder W configuration 24ltr aero engine. The engine produces around 580bhp and it still holds the outright lap record at the famous Brooklands circuit. The last part is mainly due to the fact the complete circuit no longer exists.
