To Promote the next big exhibition at the end of the year in Autoworld with the fabulous theme "American Dream Cars" we proudly present to you the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. This car is restored in it's rare, original, and wonderful period color of Limelight Green, wit a Black Vinyl Top, 440 Commando, 4-barrel engine and the heavy duty "Hemi Type" 4 speed transmission. With just 68.000 miles, the car runs and drives great and one can cruise the highway listing to both AM and the factory optional 8 Track stereo.
Featuring the wonderful Warner Bros. cartoon character the Road Runner, and being featured in Petty Blue in the hit 2006 Pixar film "Cars" as "The King" sponsored by "Dinoco", the Super Bird is a car that is loved by children from age 3 and up.
This particular 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird is one of just approx. 1.980, that left the Chrysler's Lynch Road facility. The Superbird was produced, only in 1970. In stock form, with the 440 or 426 Hemi engine, the street car hit over 160 mph off the showroom floor. As you can imagine seeing something like this on the American roads in 1970, caused a sensation wherever they went and they still do today.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar joined top health officials and global health partners at a World Health Assembly side event to look at ways to boost public trust in vaccines as our most reliable front line defense against disease. WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus delivered closing remarks at the event entitled “Promoting Vaccine Confidence: Enhancing Global Immunization Efforts to Protect the Health of all Generations.”
“Vaccines are some of the most thoroughly tested medical products we have,” said Secretary Azar in opening remarks at the event. “Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving. But around the world, complacency among the public, coupled with misunderstanding and misinformation, is causing vaccination rates to decline, with tragic results.”
Speakers at the event included EU Commissioner Dr. Vytenis Andriukaitis, Dr. Luiz Henrique Mandetta, Minister of Health, Brazi:, Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada; Prof. Dr. Alexandru Rafila, Romania, Member of WHO Executive Board, Dr. Seth Berkley CEO, GAVI Vaccine Alliance and Prof. Dr. Peter Hotez, Dean of the Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine. The event was moderated by Dr. Katherine O'Brien, Director, Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, WHO.

This is a photograph from the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 29th August 2015 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This is the third year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was a very strong headwind for the first 6 miles of the race which made the conditions difficult. The weather was dry and warm except for the torrential downpour at around 1:45pm which cleared the whole finish area of spectators and runners. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each. In total almost 700 participants took part. This was higher than the 568 participants who completed the race which is almost 150 more than the 2013 event.
We have a large set of photographs from today's race at the start and the finish until the 2-00 finish time. They are available on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157655560294853

As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Scouts Camporee on Omaha Beach Honors Heroes and Promotes Peace.
By Robert Turtil
U.S. Scouts gathered April 24 to 27 for the 2014 Omaha Beach Camporee, in event held every three years in Normandy, France. This years Camporee was particularly special, because it was recognized as the opening event of the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings planned for June. Hundreds of Scouts from France, Britain, Poland, Switzerland, the BeNeLux and Scandinavian countries, Germany and other nations joined for a weekend of remembrance.
U.S. embassy personnel and active duty service members brought their families from facilities around Europe and North Africa. More than a few F-16 fighter jockeys directed AstroVans from the Autobahn to the AutoRoute to the D-514, while others followed the more historic route across, or below, the English Channel. Some Scouts flew from American cities over their spring break, and as usual, moms led the charge when dads couldn’t get away. All converged on a welcoming destination for Americans on the French coast.
Nearly 4,200 troops and their supporting families battled sometimes horizontal rain to re-live the history, and recognize the sacrifices of American and Allied soldiers, many close to their own age, who have fought and died fighting for freedom and peace. World War Two Veterans were honored, and sacrifices made during The Great War, Korea, Vietnam and The War on Terror were also recognized by scout leaders and other volunteers, many of whom are U.S. Veterans, the traditional backbone of scouting in America.
Campsites were pitched in the rain, the mud and the dark; pots of pasta were swamped by tent malfunctions. The elements provoked short-term tears and tantrums, and perhaps a sleepless night. But complaints were mitigated with stories of invasion boats packed with seasick assault troops, mud filled foxholes, and cold k-rations, as Scouts peered at the sogginess of this Norman spring. But, as EVERY Scout knows, only fun will be remembered of the mud and chill of this weekend.
Scout convoys raced around the invasion coast following ambitious schedules: Utah Beach, Point D’Hoc, Sainte Mere Eglise, Arromanches, the Pegasus Bridge and many museums. Scouts and Veterans were the special guests of honor at the historic and grand Notre Dame Cathedral of Bayeux where clergy, along with national and local leaders, christened a newly forged Bell of Peace and Freedom. The Cathedral was a packed and flowing sea of international scout uniforms, flags and neckerchiefs… all highlighted by sunbeams streaking through stained-glass windows.
90 year-old, World War ll Army Air Force Veteran Captain Samuel Wiley Hammersmith, B-25 pilot with 28 missions in the Pacific, mingled with Scouts throughout the weekend.
New Eagles and candidates for the Order of the Arrow were sworn in at an Omaha Beach campfire in the most meaningful of ceremonies for Scouts and their families. A French Air Force flyover, a military band and youth choir opened the Messengers of Peace multimedia presentation, bringing home the sacrifices made in the past and the promise of peace Scouting seeks to contribute worldwide. That evening, friendships were made, neckerchiefs swapped, and Paella shared at sunset on the beach, followed by a fusillade of fireworks.
Sunday’s closing ceremony was held in the drizzle at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Each Troop flew its colors and laid a wreath at the base of the huge bronze statue, The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves. Scouts and their families then joined hundreds of others walking the many acres of markers, looking for specific names, or just looking, at the beauty- with history, the sense of sacrifice and a touch of tears that the damp, perfect green grass of the cemetery envokes. Slowly the parking lot emptied as each American Troop and Patrol headed in every direction across Europe and the ocean… home.

{La oficina interviene en este trabajo como colaboradora de la Ingeniería Esteyco en el marco de una iniciativa de trabajo multidisciplinar entre los campos de la ingeniería y la arquitectura, ambos con límites difusos, capaz de aportar una mirada más diversa y enriquecedora.{br} El proyecto de ascensor se plantea, inicialmente para resolver la comunicación vertical entre la superficie de la urbanización y un aparcamiento subterráneo de reciente construcción. .No obstante, se presenta la oportunidad, aprovechando la misma implantación, de resolver la conexión vertical, a nivel peatonal, de la trama urbana que confluye en la ladera que separa el Barrio de Irala del Barrio de Ametzola. En este último se han realizado intervenciones de fuerte calado para el desarrollo urbano de Bilbao y sus áreas de oportunidad, el más significativo la Variante Sur Ferroviaria y otra serie de actuaciones no tan significativas, a nivel de estructura urbana, pero si importantes en la medida en que han configurado un nuevo espacio urbano singular, residual en tanto que ha permanecido aislado, pero llamado a ser el punto de encuentro y relación de los habitantes del entorno de Irala una vez resuelta la comunicación y la continuidad del tejido urbano.{br}La ladera presenta desniveles de diez a dieciocho metros y una pendiente que imposibilita el trazado de una calle pero permite la inserción de rampas o escaleras de conexión entre la arteria principal del Área de Ametzola, la Avenida del Ferrocarril y la calle más próxima del Área de Irala, la calle Batalla de Padura, integrados en un parque que sirva como soporte de todos los elementos de comunicación. {br} El proyecto se desarrolla en coherencia formal con una serie de pequeñas intervenciones anteriores consistentes en construcciones de pequeña escala para alojar un ascensor, un centro de transformación o un edículo de alojamiento de un vestíbulo de salida de peatones de las líneas ferroviarias subterráneas.{br} El núcleo de comunicación vertical está compuesto por dos ascensores, alojados en dos torres de hormigón para uso independiente de usuarios del aparcamiento y peatones, entre los que se inserta una pasarela peatonal de unos tres metros de anchura que hace la función de puente y enlaza con la calle Batalla de Padura. La torre baja, de unos catorce metros de altura, se encaja sobre la estructura del foso e incorpora el ascensor de conexión ente Padura y los tres niveles del aparcamiento. La otra torre, más alta, de unos 22 m, sobresale sobre Batalla de Padura como el elemento singular de relación entre la parte alta de Irala y el área de Ametzola.{br} Las torres se conforman como dos láminas de hormigón plegadas, de tres metros de anchura y unos 50 cm de espesor, que albergan las estructuras metálicas de soporte de los elevadores. Las dos caras abiertas del pliegue en ambas torres se cierran con láminas de vidrio laminado de colores verdes, un verde claro para la torre alta y verde más brillante para la torre del aparcamiento y el edículo de salida.{br} La iluminación nocturna situada en el interior de las estructuras resalta la geometría de las láminas de hormigón y refleja al exterior un halo verde de distinta intensidad, visible y reconocible desde el entorno inmediato de la ciudad. Desde Ametzola será un gran faro al final de la avenida, desde Miribilla el primer elemento urbano del renovado barrio.} {br}

{ The office is involved in this work as a collaborator of Engineering Esteyco in the framework of a multidisciplinary working between the fields of engineering and architecture, both with fuzzy boundaries, which could provide a more diverse and rich look.{br} The elevator project is raised, initially to resolve the vertical communication between the surface and underground parking urbanization of recent construction. . However, there is an opportunity, using the same implementation, to resolve the vertical connection to pedestrian level of the urban fabric that flows into the hillside separating the Barrio de Irala Ametzola Quarter. In the latter interventions were made strong draft for the urban development of Bilbao and its areas of opportunity, the most significant South Alternative Rail and a number of actions not so significant, in terms of urban structure, but important to the extent they have formed a unique new urban space, while residual has remained isolated, but called to be the meeting place and relationship of the dwellers of Irala once we have communication and continuity of the urban fabric. The hillside has slopes of ten to eighteen meters and a slope that precludes the drawing of a street but allows the inclusion of ramps and stairs connecting the main artery Ametzola Area, Railroad Avenue and the nearest street Area Irala, Battle of Padura Street, built in a park that serves as a support for all elements of communication.{br} The project is formally consistent with a small number of previous interventions consisting of small-scale buildings to house an elevator, a transformer or a little building housing a pedestrian departure hall of the railway lines underground.
{br} •The square Otsa{br} The vertical communication core is composed of two elevators, housed in two concrete towers to independent use of park users and pedestrians, including a pedestrian bridge is inserted about three meters wide that serves as a bridge and link to Street Battle of Padura. The low tower, about fourteen feet high, is fitted on the structure of the elevator pit and incorporates body connection Padura and the three levels of parking. The other tower, taller, about 22 m, stands on Battle of Padura as the unique characteristic of relationship between the top of Irala and Ametzola area.
{br} The towers are shaped like two sheets of folded concrete, three feet wide and 50 cm thick metal structures that house the support of the elevators. Both sides fold open in both towers are closed with sheets of laminated glass in green, light green for the tall tower and brighter green for parking tower and the little building out.{br} The night lighting on the inside of the structures emphasizes the geometry of the layers of concrete and abroad reflects a green halo of varying intensity, visible and recognizable from the immediate environment of the city. From Ametzola be a great beacon light at the end of the avenue, from Miribilla the first element of the renewed urban neighborhood.} {br}

This promotional badge was one of many different types issued to promote and advertise popular songs of the day. They were all made during the later 1920’s and well into the 1930’s. There are at least eighty known song badges and probably more to be discovered. Many of the badges like this one, carries the song’s title but others can only be confirmed by inference and comparison with the published music sheet. The song series began around 1925 when Laurence Wright, a music publisher commissioned a series of attractively designed enamel badges to promote their sheet music. Many of the songs are still known today and others long forgotten. Carolina Moon is still available and many of the artistes who recorded it over the years are featured on YouTube.
Most of the song badges were made by Miller’s of Birmingham but also a few by other well known badge manufacturers at the time such as Strattons of Birmingham and J R Gaunt of London. The Carolina Moon badge illustrated above comes in another variety having blue enamel instead of green.

Scouts Camporee on Omaha Beach Honors Heroes and Promotes Peace.
By Robert Turtil
U.S. Scouts gathered April 24 to 27 for the 2014 Omaha Beach Camporee, in event held every three years in Normandy, France. This years Camporee was particularly special, because it was recognized as the opening event of the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings planned for June. Hundreds of Scouts from France, Britain, Poland, Switzerland, the BeNeLux and Scandinavian countries, Germany and other nations joined for a weekend of remembrance.
U.S. embassy personnel and active duty service members brought their families from facilities around Europe and North Africa. More than a few F-16 fighter jockeys directed AstroVans from the Autobahn to the AutoRoute to the D-514, while others followed the more historic route across, or below, the English Channel. Some Scouts flew from American cities over their spring break, and as usual, moms led the charge when dads couldn’t get away. All converged on a welcoming destination for Americans on the French coast.
Nearly 4,200 troops and their supporting families battled sometimes horizontal rain to re-live the history, and recognize the sacrifices of American and Allied soldiers, many close to their own age, who have fought and died fighting for freedom and peace. World War Two Veterans were honored, and sacrifices made during The Great War, Korea, Vietnam and The War on Terror were also recognized by scout leaders and other volunteers, many of whom are U.S. Veterans, the traditional backbone of scouting in America.
Campsites were pitched in the rain, the mud and the dark; pots of pasta were swamped by tent malfunctions. The elements provoked short-term tears and tantrums, and perhaps a sleepless night. But complaints were mitigated with stories of invasion boats packed with seasick assault troops, mud filled foxholes, and cold k-rations, as Scouts peered at the sogginess of this Norman spring. But, as EVERY Scout knows, only fun will be remembered of the mud and chill of this weekend.
Scout convoys raced around the invasion coast following ambitious schedules: Utah Beach, Point D’Hoc, Sainte Mere Eglise, Arromanches, the Pegasus Bridge and many museums. Scouts and Veterans were the special guests of honor at the historic and grand Notre Dame Cathedral of Bayeux where clergy, along with national and local leaders, christened a newly forged Bell of Peace and Freedom. The Cathedral was a packed and flowing sea of international scout uniforms, flags and neckerchiefs… all highlighted by sunbeams streaking through stained-glass windows.
90 year-old, World War ll Army Air Force Veteran Captain Samuel Wiley Hammersmith, B-25 pilot with 28 missions in the Pacific, mingled with Scouts throughout the weekend.
New Eagles and candidates for the Order of the Arrow were sworn in at an Omaha Beach campfire in the most meaningful of ceremonies for Scouts and their families. A French Air Force flyover, a military band and youth choir opened the Messengers of Peace multimedia presentation, bringing home the sacrifices made in the past and the promise of peace Scouting seeks to contribute worldwide. That evening, friendships were made, neckerchiefs swapped, and Paella shared at sunset on the beach, followed by a fusillade of fireworks.
Sunday’s closing ceremony was held in the drizzle at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Each Troop flew its colors and laid a wreath at the base of the huge bronze statue, The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves. Scouts and their families then joined hundreds of others walking the many acres of markers, looking for specific names, or just looking, at the beauty- with history, the sense of sacrifice and a touch of tears that the damp, perfect green grass of the cemetery envokes. Slowly the parking lot emptied as each American Troop and Patrol headed in every direction across Europe and the ocean… home.

LOS ANGELES - Mayor Eric Garcetti and City Council President Nury Martinez announced on January 18, 2022 that Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas will retire after nearly 40 years of distinguished service to the Los Angeles Fire Department — and that Kristin Crowley, a top deputy with a stellar 25-year track record at the Department, has been nominated as its next Chief.
If confirmed by the City Council, Crowley, currently Acting Administrative Operations Chief Deputy and Fire Marshal, will be the 19th Fire Chief, and the first woman to ever lead the LAFD.
“We’re living through an unprecedented moment that has called on our Fire Department not just to protect us – but to lead us in the fight to overcome public safety challenges we’ve never faced before. At the same time, the LAFD is leading a transformative national discussion about strengthening equity and inclusion within the firefighting ranks, and we must overcome those internal challenges too,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “Throughout her distinguished career, Kristin Crowley has proven her brilliance, determination and bravery on the job again and again. She’s also shown this city her heart, with her tireless commitment to helping students access life-changing educational opportunities. There is no one better equipped to lead the LAFD at this moment than Kristin. She’s ready to make history, and I’m proud to nominate her as the Department’s next Chief.”
“Today is a big moment in this City. For the first time in its history the Los Angeles Fire Department will be led by a woman,” said Council President Martinez. “Chief Kristin Crowley is known by her colleagues and by this city as someone who is dedicated, hard working, and goes above and beyond what is expected of her. This announcement is not just important for the City of Los Angeles, but for girls across LA who never imagined they could one day serve as Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department.”
Crowley is a 22-year veteran of the Fire Department who has moved seamlessly through the ranks, proving her credibility and character along the way. She made history as the Department’s first female Fire Marshal and is the second woman to earn the rank of Chief Deputy.
Chief Deputy Crowley, who serves as program director for the LAFD’s youth development program, has played a key role in ensuring that over 1,000 LAUSD high school students continue in their education.
In her current role, she helped to develop a five-year strategic plan to identify areas of growth within the Department and foster culture more open to change. As Chief, she plans to work to both deepen existing efforts and create new mechanisms to foster equity and inclusion in the Department.
"I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to be the next Fire Chief of the Los Angeles City Fire Department and to lead the Department into the future," Crowley said. "As the Fire Chief, if confirmed, I vow to take a strategic and balanced approach to ensure we meet the needs of the community we serve. We will focus our efforts on increasing our operational effectiveness, enhancing firefighter safety and well-being, and fully commit to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture within the LAFD. Thank you, Mayor Garcetti, Council President Martinez, and Chief Terrazas for entrusting me to lead and to work with the dedicated women and men of the finest department in the world."
Chief Terrazas, who was sworn in as L.A.’s Fire Chief in 2014, was the first Latino to serve in that role. A 39-year veteran of the Department, Chief Terrazas helped steer the City through some of its greatest challenges, and brought about meaningful advancements and innovations within the Fire Department.
Under his leadership, LAFD supervised the City’s free public COVID-19 testing and vaccination programs, which has administered nearly 4.86 million tests and approximately 1.43 million vaccinations to date. The City of L.A.’s testing effort was the nation’s largest municipal testing program and tested over 40,000 Angelenos per day at its peak.
“Ralph Terrazas has dedicated his life to keeping the people of Los Angeles safe. For nearly 40 years, he has served our Fire Department with bravery, determination and compassion for the Angelenos he’s sworn to protect,” said Mayor Garcetti. “I couldn’t imagine having anyone else as Fire Chief, through some of the most difficult fire and public safety challenges L.A. has ever faced. And when a once-in-a-century pandemic hit, Ralph’s leadership and bold action helped us save countless lives. I am honored to have served alongside him, and I know the mark he’s left on this city will never be forgotten.”
Early in his time leading LAFD, Chief Terrazas oversaw the rebuilding of the Department, which had stopped hiring new firefighters for five years as a result of the Great Recession. In 2015, he successfully reorganized the Department into four bureaus – the first restructuring of LAFD in 50 years, which helped to enhance accountability and improve service delivery.
Chief Terrazas also launched and implemented a variety of innovative initiatives, including Advanced Provider Response Units, Alternate Destination Response Units, and Fast Response Vehicles, efforts that enable firefighters to go beyond simply bringing patients to emergency rooms. Chief Terrazas has also made diversity a top priority – for the first time in department history, 51.4% firefighters are now people of color. Since 2014, the Department has maintained a steady increase in the number of hired sworn women at LAFD. Of the current sworn force, more than half of those who are currently employed were hired on in the last 8 years, and nearly 10% were brought on in 2021.
"It was a privilege to serve as the Fire Chief of this world-class Department," said Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas. "For nearly eight years, we made considerable strides in technology, implemented innovative ways to respond to emergencies, and became a model for other agencies. Chief Crowley is an exemplary leader and has a broad base of experience that will serve the Department well. She has risen through the ranks over the past 26 years and I proudly promoted her three times during my tenure because she demonstrated a commitment to advancing the Department. Chief Crowley has been successful at every position and I expect her success to continue as the next Fire Chief."

Wembley once again played host to the Championship Play-Off Final between, Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace and Gianfranco Zola's Watford. The tie couldn't be settled despite many chances for both teams. It was coming to the end of the first half of extra time and Palace were awarded a penalty which was smashed away by substitute Kevin Phillips; which would decide the game. Crystal Palace were promoted to the Premier League after a long, arduous season which ended in celebration.

As a result of severe competition from the Co Durham operator 'Trimdon Motor Services', who at the start of de-regulation, made substantial inroads into Cleveland Transit's established territory on Teesside, Cleveland Transit introduced the Leyland Lynx in three batches from 1988. These new buses improved the age profile of the fleet and were better able to deal with the competiton from TMS.
The new vehicles were promoted in the local press as 'Superbuses' and the services they worked were marketed as 'Fastlynx'. The Leyland Lynxes lasted with Stagecoach Transit until the early millenium period, being joined by examples from Busways and elsewhere (notably Cumbria). This one is seen at Stockton Depot in 1991, wearing an overall advert for Lakeside Windows.
