Pictured here is Go-Ahead London WVN45 on route 217, about to begin it’s journey towards Waltham Cross on the first day of operation with Go-Ahead London two weeks ago, which by sheer coincidence happened to be on the same day of my 24th birthday! I decided not to ride the route though due to my bias against TfL vehicles not introduced from their original operator, as the ex-First B9TLs were the only fleet appearing on the 217’s first day of GAL.
This route has been moving around a lot recently as it operated with Metroline until 2017, which then saw 217 passing to Sullivan Buses that run till August, when the entire company abolished itself from all TfL services, leading to the route getting temporarily awarded to Arriva on an emergency contract before shifting over once again to Go-Ahead, albeit only on a one year contract.
This makes 217 one of the TfL routes with the largest amount of bus companies in a short space of time with four in total, though I do believe route E10 currently holds this record with five operators running the route within less than ten years and I’m definitely sure the chances of it happening to another route at present are slim to none, due to former operators in London such as Tower Transit and Quality Line being sold.

Remarks :
MacSimski repaired this film projector and was testing it with some of his leftover film reels from his days in cinematography.
Some manual adjustment was required to get the sound in sync with the pictures.
Something different when I saw from my last trip here. They're having a new tool for lifting some stuff, althought I still can see some of them still carrying the goods manually.

It's a synthesizer. It's a DAW controller. It's a hardware sequencer.
It has four knobs, a mini synth keyboard, and DAW transport controls. It features eight synthesizer models, eight samplers, and effects; analog audio I/O, microphone, speaker, FM radio, and MP3-encoder; accelerometer, USB 2.0 port, Li-Ion-battery, 1GB of memory, and a 320x160 OLED color display.
And, alas, it's still only a prototype. To be frank, I don't think this is even a functional prototype yet, because, if you look closely at the image, you'll note that the buttons are not fully cut out.
So, it came as no surprise that the good folks at the Teenage Engineering booth kept this device under a glass panel that protected the prototype from too many fingerprints and too much overly-eager fiddling-around. The OLED display did work, however, and a sound-demo was offered via headphones.
Those demo sounds clearly targeted the techno'esque and DJ crowd, and they had a whacky lo-fi charme, but they also promised a very decent synth engine underneath the hood, and I sincerely hope that the Operator-1 will ship eventually.
According to TE, a beta run of 100 pre-release units should be ready within about a year. Til then, you can read up on the Operator-1 on its product page, which also offers a few sound examples.

463 Squadron wireless operator Frank Mottershead flew 31 operations from RAF Waddington during WWII. His pilot was my friend Don Huxtable. In an interview with me in Adelaide this afternoon for the International Bomber Command Centre's Digital Archive he told me of many of his adventures, including the time Hux beat up the Flying Scotsman train en route home after an operational diversion to Lossiemouth. Apparently the train driver was not best impressed!
Frank had a fairly eventful tour of operations. At least once a bomb hung up, and they needed to land back at base with it still aboard. On another occasion they were attacked by a Junkers Ju88 nightfighter, which the gunners managed to shoot down. I asked Frank what he could remember of that, and he said "trying to hang on", while the pilot put the great bomber through a violent corkscrew. On their last trip, a daylight - yes you read that right, a daylight - operation to Hamburg, there were Lancasters going down "everywhere." The Group Captain was there to meet them when they got back from that one to congratulate them on finishing their tour.
He's struggling with his failing eyesight these days but we both enjoyed digging into his memories.
Sadly Frank is now the only member of the crew left alive. Hux died in Sydney earlier this month.
Strobist: I wanted to backlight Frank using the fairly strong light through those curtains. It took a few goes to get the angle right (and I don't think we quite nailed it, but as he's 93 there was only so long I could fiddle). There's a speedlight in my usual white shoot-through brolly off to the right to throw some light on his face, triggered by a set of Hahnel Combis.
This was my eighteenth interview for the IBCC Archive.

My Ten Best: This photo was placed in My Ten Best album on 09MAY16 because I was happy that I'd achieved almost exactly the image I'd had in my head when I first saw those white curtains in the room where I interviewed Frank. It's a simple concept but as soon as I turned this into b+w I knew I'd just about nailed it.
