One of the highlights of The Victory Show 2019, held at Cosby, was the static line parachute drop from C-47A "Drag ‘em Oot". The aircraft is a genuine D-Day veteran and also took part in operation Market Garden in September 1944.

Besides photography I am a fascinated martial arts student (Wing Tsun) and a fan of all sorts of technical humbo gumbo (in other words: a nerd).
OK, now how to put that in a photo? This is a shot of my room with chinese art and Wing Tsun graduation certificates (chinese martial arts, see?) and the before mentioned technical humbo gumbo. I would lie if I said I did not do some manipulation in this shot (really?) but this is what I dream of in terms of computer development: HUDs (heads up displays) affordable for the mortals and real "drag'ndrop" (I am thinking "Minortity Report" just without Scientology extremists).

A rare sight these days, as Direct Rail Services Class 57/3, 57304 “Pride of Cheshire” performs its intended Thunderbird duties and drags failed Avanti West Coast "Pendolino" Class 390, 390117 through Hartford as 5Z62 16:18 Preston to Oxley Carriage Maintenance Depot.
The Pendolino had sat in Preston for just over 12 hours having failed earlier that morning. The 'Bodysnatcher' was eventually summoned to move the stricken EMU to Oxley depot for attention.
Can't remember the name of this street but it had some cool street art all along it, on the way to Shoreditch High Street looking for my favourite Roa piece. Also didn't notice that cool looking van in the background, would have investigated that!
