In the late 1950s, the Royal Navy operated the piston-engined Douglas A-1 Skyraider from its aircraft carriers in the AEW role. However, the Skyraider was a design that originated during the Second World War. It entered service with the RN in 1951 but, owing to its World War II vintage, would be considered obsolete by the late 50s. As a consequence, the Royal Navy issued its directive AEW.154 to begin planning for a replacement for the Skyraider. The aircraft considered most suitable for this were seen as those already under development for the Navy's GR.17/45 Specification for a new anti-submarine aircraft, of which the front runners were the Blackburn B-54/B-88 and the Fairey Type Q/17. In this competition, it was the Fairey Aviation aircraft that proved the winner, eventually entering service as the Gannet.[1]
AN/APS-20 Radar Scanner
The intention was to use the Gannet as a stop-gap measure prior to the acquisition of a new, purpose built system intended to be used on the planned new generation of aircraft carriers. As a consequence, it was intended to undertake as little in the way of modification as possible - the AN/APS-20 radar[2] from the Skyraider would be mounted in a radome under the fuselage of an ordinary Gannet AS.1, with the associated electronics and space for two operators inside.[3] However, the size of the radome meant that the existing airframe was too close to the ground to accommodate the radar, and so a significant modification to the fuselage was required. This involved removing the observer's cockpits and creating a new cabin within the fuselage; this was accessed via a pair of hatches next to the trailing edge of the wing, which also meant that the exhausts had to be moved from this position to the leading edge; increasing the total area of the vertical stabiliser to compensate for the instability caused by the radome; and extending the length of the undercarriage to increase the clearance for the radome, which consequently increased the aircraft's overall height by 3 ft (1 m), and gave the aircraft a more level stance than the anti-submarine version.[3] Such were the extensive modifications required that, in December 1954, it was suggested that the AEW version be renamed as the Fairey Albatross, as it was to all intents and purposes a completely different aircraft from its ASW predecessor. As it was, by the time the Gannet AEW was entering service, the ASW version was in the process of being replaced, avoiding any potential confusion.[1]
The prototype Gannet AEW.3 first flew in August 1958, with carrier trials taking place using HMS Centaur in November, and the first production aircraft delivered in December. By August 1959, 700G Naval Air Squadron was formed as the Trials Unit for the new Gannet. This unit put the aircraft through an intensive test programme to make it ready for operation service, a process that lasted until January 1960, at which point the unit was renamed as 'A' Flight of 849 Naval Air Squadron. 849A Flight was then declared operational and was embarked for the first time in HMS Ark Royal.[4] A total of 44 Gannets were ordered for the Royal Navy to replace the Skyraider.

My model is plane XL450 of 764 squadron. It is currently in a museum in Germany.
I really wanted to add the folding wings and motorization to my gannet model. The motor was a HUGE pain to fit in as the battery box is 4 studs wide exactly. I am really happy with the way it turned out and the functionality make its really fun to swoosh.
I am editing more photos right now and will hopefully have them uploaded by tonight and if not then they should be up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Enjoy,

This former industrial laundry and textile service had been sitting abandoned for more than a decade when the decision was made to demolish it in early 2022.
The place was rotted inside, but hadn’t been vandalized. So I got a chance for some photos of decay without any spray-painted tags in the frame.
AtB AS (operated by Boreal Bane AS): in the city of Trondheim there is a single line of trams, the Gråkallbanen, which connects the city center in St. Olavs gate with Lian, in the neighborhood of Byåsen. It has a length of 8.8 km, metric gauge single track and is electrified at 600 V DC. It is the only one that survived from a network of three lines, and is currently the world's most northerly tramway system. The service is provided with nine of the eleven trams (numbers 90-100) built by Linke-Hofmann-Busch between 1984 and 1985.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is in a canyon operating on a main line curve as it nears Utah with the terrain color change in Western Colorado, Summer 1980. The mountains and land seemed to change to a much deeper red color as the train started to enter into Utah. In order to take my photos I was very fortunate that I was allowed to open the top Dutch Door window in the vestibules of various cars.

Bain's Coaches Of Oldmeldrums rather ambiguous Mellor bodied Mercedes 614D Vario SV56EOR arrives a mile away from the kerb at His Majesty's Theatre on Rosemount Viaduct while operating a Service 305 from Aberdeen to Oldmeldrum with the doors already open, no indication of who the operator is or what service it is operating.
SV56EOR was new to Aberdeenshire Council as their 10738 in November 2006, it joined the Bains fleet in 2013 and was withdrawn in December 2022 being replaced by a slightly older Optare Solo.
The Service 305 was a peak service that mirrored the former Stagecoach Service 35A (previously 325). At its peak it had somewhat of a cult following however passenger numbers dwindled with time and following Bain's loosing the vast majority of their school contracts the loss making commercial operated Services 240, 305 and 777 were axed in early 2023.

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWDI, the aircraft was delivered to ILFC and leased to SAETA (Ecuador) as HC-BUJ in Mar-95. It was returned to the lessor in Nov-99 and immediately leased to America West Airlines as N619AW.
America West was merged into US Airways in Sep-05 and the aircraft continued in service until it was returned to the lessor in Jan-09 and stored. In Jun-09 it was leased to Amsterdam Airlines as PH-AAY.
Amsterdam Airlines ceased operations in Oct-11. The aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Dublin, Ireland the following month. It was leased to Astra Airlines as SX-DIO in Apr-12 and painted in this attractive black livery.
The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-16 as N619AW and was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA. The registration was cancelled in Mar-17. Updated 06-Jul-22.

CP operated a work train east out of Schreiber on Tuesday with three ballast cars for local surfacing. Two cars were setoff here at Steel and the other was brought to Pringle before returning light unit to Schreiber. A brant truck will move the cars around later on I am sure. Here they are backing into the back track at Steel before cutting off pulling back into the siding and rearming the SBU before heading east. 062425

Norfolk Southern operated Norfolk & Western A class 2-6+6-4 coal burning articulated steam locomotive # 1218, is seen leading while preparing to stop with its Railfan Excursion Train near Harriman, Tennessee, October 1987. When viewing the locomotive you may observe some of cab crew members. In this view you get a feeling for the great size of this locomotive with its tenders being included.
Was stoked to see these images pop up after 6 minutes exposure (360sec).

The Tintic Standard Reduction Mill—also known as the Tintic Mill or Harold Mill—built in 1920, and only operating from 1921 to 1925, is an abandoned refinery or concentrator located on the west slope of Warm Springs Mountain near Goshen, Utah, in the United States. Metals processed at the mill included copper, gold, silver, and lead, all of which were received from another mill near Eureka, Utah. The metal content of ore was increased through the process to make transportation less expensive. The reducing process used was an acid-brine chloridizing and leaching process which became outdated, leading to the abandonment of the site in 1925. At the mill's highest productivity it processed 200 tons of ore yearly from the Tintic Mining District.
What remains of the mill are foundations for water tanks, crushers, roasters, iron boxes, leaching tanks, and drain boxes. The site dominates the surrounding landscape with its size and unique colors and shapes.
It was designed and built by W. C. Madge. It is significant as the only American mill using the Augustin process during the early 1920s.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It has been speculated that the mill may be the contributor of heavy metal pollution in the Goshen Warm Springs which lie below it.
