On 9 May 2017, DRS 88002 'Prometheus' was hauled to London by 68022 plus 'Northern Belle' stock to London Euston, to make its public debut. As it happens I had to be up very early that morning to take my son to a college trip, so 5.15 am found me at Lichfield Trent Valley to see the convoy pass by. 68022 was at the front with 88002 at the rear.
As a bonus, just a few seconds later Direct Rail Services made another appearance in the form of 66304 on the Carlisle - Mountsorrel Network Rail working.
Just back from seeing the movie in the title and on the way back I remembered this fly I photographed while in Costa Rica that reminded me of the the original H R Giger drawings from back in the day of Alien. Now I've done a quick process maybe it doesn't but it's still weird looking thing!
Good movie though if you can get by the paper thin plot.
Glad to see flickr seems back to normal!

The finished figure had the stylized hair and blank expression of ancient Greek sculpture that was Manship's trademark. But it also had Manship's typical emphasis on lithe movement. Installed in early 1934, the eight-ton bronze sculpture had Prometheus flying almost horizontally, with a clump of fire in his right hand, through streams of water over a zodiacal ring. Edward Alden Jewel, writing in The New York Times, called Prometheus 'a genuine masterpiece, beautiful in its rhythm.' But he acknowledged that another critic, the actor and writer Frank Craven, considered it 'a boudoir knicknack.' Manship's unhindered success inspired detractors who saw in him an upper-class toady irrelevant to the dead-serious modernism of the 1930's....Manship had many reservations about the completed work. He thought he had been hurried by the twelve-month schedule, and the horizontal fighure of Prometheus was not consonant with the verticality of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
