This group of 3 Conair CV580's have been assigned to the British Columbia Forest Service air tanker base at Penticton. Only 4 of the type remain in the Conair fleet. The other one is assigned to Alaska and this is likely the last year for them before retirement. They served well in the role for over 20 years. Tanker 49 and 55 left on a practice mission but the fence got in my way when 55 took off.
Here's the taxi rank, and one goose cab is off to a green area. The others gradually follow, reforming each time into another taxi...
It's easier, especially in strong winds for the geese to fly together. Even over a short distance, it's possible to see some geese drop back a bit as others come to the front. I don't know if anybody gets any tips!
According to a news report I once saw, some athletic trainers have urged their trainees to watch how geese work together to achieve their amazing flights.

One of the signs on Central Auto Electric. I've seen a few of these "United Motors" signs, but this is probably the best yet.
Just FYI, Started in 1916 , United Motors morphed into ACDelco eventually.

I know this isn't a very exciting photo, but we don't get to see the 'SES' volunteers very often here in Perth. Western Australia.
It's a fantastic volunteer service that helps communities in times of disaster.
A bit on the lines of a. civil defence organisation in times of War.
Only these people help when Mother Nature hits hard. Very necessary these days....
A call in to South Mimms Services on the M25/A1(M) junction today (11/03/2022) and to check on the 'Hair Bus' which is still trading. Former Crosville Leyland National NFM853M has been in situ since 1991.
Made a pass through Socorro, New Mexico recently. One of my favorite buildings is Delgado’s TV Service. It has this wing on the end of it, which is the subject of this photograph. Gotta love these odd architectural details.
Island Coach Services Van Hool Astromega TD927 OU59 AUY in Brighton this afternoon, 4th March, 2022. It was originally an Oxford Tube coach.
It’s an old service station nears Cairns, Australia. You can see there’s a dilapidated bowser on the left. The structure has had a pink wash at some point which certainly would not have been the original color.
As a teenager in the 1960’s, I would fill my first car up in places like these. You’d pull up out front and a man dressed in overalls with a good head of hair and an oily rag slung over this shoulder would skip over briskly: ‘Fill her up?’ he’d inquire, and you’d say ‘Yep. Thanks’. He’d stick the nozzle in and lock her down then be lifting the bonnet to check the oil: ‘She’s a bit low. When’s your next service?’. ‘Next month’ ‘Hmm…better get it done sooner rather than later. OK, that’ll be a dollar-eighty-five’.
Then I looked up from my camera and wondered where that good-natured fellow went.
Follow the mooring rope that leads you down to the boat, the sun ripples reflected from the water caught my eye.
Blakeney Marine Services use this boat to go and retrieve customers boats that have lost their moorings and swept out towards the sea.
They also collect customers boats to be repaired and service ready for the next season of summer boating.
Shot was taken at low level with my monopod to try and get dramatic viewpoint, the slipway here is very slippery and usually wellington bots are the order of the day. Or use an extended monopod from the safety of the quay.!!
